We are all aware now of the increasing pressures being bought to a country that for years has taken its environment for granted. Clear indication of what to expect now and in the future regarding Carbon reduction has become very apparent. Modular construction is an option that can accommodate program and building needs within a short time frame at a cost that is usually significantly less than conventional construction.
Modular
building offers a simple and straightforward solution to structural necessities
while allowing total latitude for the architects' creative application beyond
your basic need. Additionally, construction time can be reduced by up to 50%.
While site work is being completed, the building is being manufactured to meet
specific construction timetables. Once building permits are obtained, modular
buildings can be ready for installation within 30 to 60 days.
There
are several modular building designs available that address the low-security
needs of facility administrators. General Marine Leasing, Sprung Instant
Structures, Miller Modular Construction and American Modular Technologies are
some of the companies that specialize in modular buildings. They essentially
provide large rectangular enclosures with open floor plan configurations that
include bunk beds, and in some units, a separate toilet/lavatory/shower area. A
few manufacturers have had success providing their products to correctional
facilities for temporary use that occasionally result in permanent housing
environments.
Prefabricated
unit costs vary significantly. Units can be purchased on a square-foot basis
or, more typically, on total building size based on typical housing units.
Estimating the cost of a modular unit system against conventional building must
consider the amount of time saved with modular construction to obtain the true
value for cost comparisons.
Along
with all these there are several advantages of modular buildings such as its
pre-engineered so need of an engineer or architect, ease of coordination, good
appearance, speedy installation, low maintenance, durability, adaptability,
sound resistance, quicker return on investment etc.
As
you can see there are many factors and advantages on using modular buildings
over conventional buildings. If you would still like more information then this
can be found by entering the keywords 'modular buildings' into an internet
search engine. This will allow you to look through all of the products that are
currently on the market. That way you can ensure that you have an informative
decision on the use of modular buildings and their use.
