Modular Construction

Wood framed modular construction has been a regular solution for residential construction. It has some limitations like beam spans, lateral force resisting system requirements, and fire resistance, restricting its usage to residential purpose only.

Steel and concrete

modular construction

is the best

replacement as it

provides greater

exterior opening

distances, increased

floor plan flexibility,

LEED certification,

and non-combustible

occupancies.

Modular

construction is built

on permanent

foundation

confirming to same

building codes.

The modules are constructed in an off-site assembly line

and transported to the building site. Steel plus concrete

materials are used for high end constructions. Modular

constructions adhere to all building codes. Its

manufacturing facilities have quality control staff that

enforce and review the work for each trade thereby

maintaining the safety and manufacturing standards.

It has more construction speed as it’s built off site and

can be assembled in conjunction with the foundation

preparation. The time saved translates to cost reduction

and owner can occupy the house faster.

Steel and concrete modular constructions are fire

resistant and provide more rigidity and load bearing

ability than wood structures. More space is available

between floor and ceiling in steel structures facilitating

electric and HVAC .

Steel and concrete modular constructions has much

more longer life span then steel modular units. But steel

modular construction can be easily dismantled and

relocated thereby prolonging the structures useful life.
