Modular construction offers the most cost reductions for projects with a higher share of labor-intensive tasks and recurring processes. Furthermore, on-site module assembly necessitates a lower-skilled and thus lower-cost labor force.
Fremont CA: Modular construction is the process of constructing separate modules of a structure off-site in a controlled environment, using the same materials, codes, and standards as a traditional building, and then combining these modules on-site. The transition from conventional on-site to off-site construction necessitates a significant upfront investment in manufacturing facilities.
Companies often take on projects one at a time, making the transition to modular construction difficult for facility owners. However, when considering the cyclical nature of development and its impact on plant utilization rates, many markets are experiencing severe structural supply shortages that can take years to resolve, and modular can give much-needed relief to these businesses.
Here are four advantages of modular construction:
Accelerated Building Schedules
Off-site construction takes less time than on-site construction.By opting for modular construction, you can decrease your construction timelines by 20 to 50 percent. Even though the modular design process takes longer than standard construction design, the rest of the process can be finished more quickly. The confined and controlled factory environment, the ease of coordinating and repeating procedures, and the greater use of machinery all contribute to this.
Reduced Building Cost
The cost of a structure is directly proportional to the length of time it takes to create it.
