MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
THE FUTURE OF BUILDING HOMES
The future of building modular homes entails constructing the building off-site, under controlled plant conditions, using the same design and materials as well as codes and standards of the conventional built facilities in half the 
time. The buildings that are constructed and produced are done in sections and/or modules and assembled to reflect the identical design and specifications of the most state-of-the-art built facility without compromise.
The modular construction homes procedures are structurally stronger than conventional construction stronger for the simple reason that each module is engineered to independently endure the rigors of transportation and craning onto foundations. Once together and sealed, the modules become one integrated wall, floor and roof assemblage.
One of the pros of building off site homes is that it ensures better construction and quality management. It is guaranteed that the materials delivered to the location are transported in a cautious manner. The future owner can also be confident that the modules are stored safely and securely at the manufacturer’s warehouse to prevent damage from moisture and other elements. It is a known fact that the manufacturing plant promotes stringent quality assurance programs, inspections and testing protocols that support the highest quality of construction during the construction process.
The modular homes modern design offers numerous benefits to owners such as:
- Removing approximately 80% of the building construction activities from the site location which reduces noise pollution, vehicular traffic, site disruption whilst improving the overall safety and security of the location and the workers. Thus, schools, hospitals and businesses nearby are not affected on a significant level.
- The architects who build modular homes works with different levels of design thus rivalling their conventional counterparts. The benefits acquired through the exploration of the project deliverables and the off-site construction is thus chosen very early during the design and development process.
- The project is built based on the standardised methodology in place thus avoiding redesigning and delays.
- Majority of the modular companies adhere to the stick built design and creates a modular version when needed, so there are endless possibilities.
- Owners and designers get a chance to use more sustainable designs for improved environmental conditions.
- The building and construction phase is done in a controlled environment thus reducing waste along with improving the quality management processes throughout the on-site activities, disturbance level thus promoting sustainability.
- The reduced environmental waste is avoided upstream rather than diverting downstream.
- Improved quality management throughout the construction process is achieved which result in less on-site activity whilst promoting sustainability.
Modular homes solve many of our immediate and long-term construction and residential activities while promoting clean construction technology to meet our society’s housing industry in an economic and productive way.
Not only does it affect the environment in a positive way it facilitates job creation. In conclusion, modular home construction processes facilities a timely implementation process for meeting the immediate needs of the people at the same time creating a comfortable home for families.
