Modular construction has become immensely popular with a lot of contractors, builders, and property owners, and there are many obvious reasons for this. One is the savings on cost, as modular construction takes less time than a traditional building and construction project and almost all the materials you use are utilised – virtually nothing is wasted. Another reason is the faster construction time, which means less disruption to operations, and another apparent reason is the quality of the construction materials used. Since modular structures are built in a facility, the environment is controlled, and the materials will not become damaged due to exposure. But there are other benefits to modular construction which you may not be aware of as well, including bespoke solutions, flexibility, durability, and more. Following are the three main benefits of modular construction you didn’t know.
The chance to go bespoke
Not many may realise this, but even if modular construction often comes with existing designs and structural styles, you can still benefit from bespoke choices. You can have your modular building tailored according to your needs and requirements, and you can have the entire building or extension custom-made so that it fits your budget and space requirements as well. The bespoke solution when it comes to modular buildings extends, of course, to shape, colour, the amount and quality of the fittings you want to use, the external and internal finishes, and other specific requirements such as ramps, slopes, and everything else.
Aside from this, if the modular building is going to be an extension, you can have the extension conform to the design of the existing building where it will be attached. In other words, if your existing building has brick walls, then the modular structure can have brick walls as well, and so on.
The flexibility
As already mentioned, you can have a modular structure built according to your precise requirements and for whatever use or purpose. Modular structures are often used in various sectors as classrooms, garden rooms, offices, studios, music rooms, dens, and more – whatever purpose you have for your modular structure, you can fulfil this purpose because modular structures are designed to be completely flexible. In fact, more and more business owners are opting for modular buildings to be used as portable offices, as they can be relocated to another area or place, or even recycled once they have been used and you no longer need them. Of course, modular buildings can either be temporary or permanent – it’s really up to you how you want to optimise your modular structure.
The durability
Whether you are using your modular structure as a temporary or permanent building, you will undoubtedly benefit from its durability. The materials used for the construction of modular buildings are chosen according to the highest and strictest standards. Also, you can have the internal walls of your modular structure made with sound insulation and extra fire-proofing, and you can be sure that your modular structure will be fully air-tight, ensuring its energy efficiency.
