Prefabrication Defines Modular Buildings in Today's Trend

mumbai, January 11, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Market, Innovation, facts& figures

Prefabrication defines modular buildings in today’s trend. Modular constructions consist of multiple sections called modules. The use of advanced CAD systems, 3D printing and manufacturing control systems are important for modular construction to be successful. The construction is typically constructed indoors on assembly lines. Today’s designs include multi-story units, multi-family units and entire apartment complexes.

The height to which a modular structure can be built depends on jurisdiction, but a number of countries, especially in Asia, allow them to be built to 24 floors or more. Modular constructed products do not have axles or a frame, meaning that they are typically transported to their site by means of flat-bed trucks. The constructed blocks are used in remote and rural areas where conventional construction may not be reasonable or possible. It completely depends on the consumers how they want to use the modules as long-term, temporary or permanent facilities, such as construction camps, schools and classrooms, civilian and military housing, and industrial facilities, medical units, children gaming units, shipping containers, etc. The entire process of modular construction places significance on the design stage.

Market acceptance

Demountable designed and built to be movable desired locale is what the product is about. The first portable building was developed in 1961 in York (UK) by Donald Shepherd.

These units are typically constructed in an enclosed facility where poor environmental factors are not allowed to hinder the construction timeline. Today, individual modular building components can be built in state-of-the-art facilities at the same time as site preparation, saving you time and money.

Modular buildings give you great financial options; you can lease your portable building, purchase it outright, or select a lease-to-own plan or guaranteed buy-back option. Their durable, secure and reloadable characteristics make them ideal for both temporary and permanent applications that will meet the requirements of any industry. Contrary to traditional construction practices, modular building construction is a very cost effective and timely venue for quality production.

In the international bracket, Containers are in many ways an ideal building material because they are strong, durable, stackable, cuttable, movable, modular, plentiful and relatively cheap. Architects as well as laypeople have used them to build many types of buildings such as homes, offices, apartments, schools, dormitories, artists’ studios and emergency shelters; they have also been used as swimming pools. They are also used to provide temporary secure spaces on construction sites and other venues on an “as is” basis instead of building shelters. Going down the history, containers even provided a prison shell for the prisoners. It even provides Emergency hurricane shelters for thoroughbred horses. The major profit is the construction is done by keeping in mind about the geographic condition, where the structures are going to be placed. In the international run, their fast life and innovation tags them about their presence. Their acceptance to these portable modular structures has been very beneficial and fast moving. Where as in the Indian market, these modules have recognition as a part of shipping containers and prior lot of struggle; it has built a space in the running market.

Our products are in demand, (SpeedKABIN, Koreapuff, Eurostruct, Acobuild, Hycon, Speed box). The Market acceptance is very tough in India, new thoughts and technologies to invade takes time. The prefab and portability yet has to struggle in the market. On the terms of industrial basis the modular construction has a face. We are still striving for the betterment of lifestyle for the mass on India. Our products have always attained a comparative level with the international level. The immense bondage of team work, unique designs and variety of options defines our Products. We keep in mind about the affordability of each individual and we plan in accordance to that. The key feature that we provide to our clients is the choice to selecting the size of the containers and the heights of containers that they want for their usage. All modules are designed to sit on a perimeter foundation or basement. The materials used are the same as site constructed homes.

Most companies have standard plans. However, all modular buildings can be custom built to a client’s specifications. Recent innovations allow modular buildings to be indistinguishable from site-built structures. Surveys have shown that individuals can rarely tell the difference between a modular home and a site-built home.

Facts and figures

Advancement of technology in the 21st century has given rise to this faster, more cost-efficient method of building construction. It is so named because each individual unit (module) of the building is prefabricated in a factory while the foundation is prepared at the actual construction site. After the modules are ready, they are then transported to the site and assembled on top of the foundation. So, as opposed to traditional construction, the two phases in modular construction (foundation laying and building) happen simultaneously instead of sequentially. This is mostly why modular construction is more cost-effective and time-efficient compared to traditional construction.

• Modular buildings are flexible and can be customized to suit your budge
• Quick construction does not compromise on quality
• Built with greater detail
• 100 percent recyclable
• Low-maintenance

Modular construction is pushing boundaries, has several advantages over conventional construction and has rightly been labeled as “the future of construction.” we are a believer of innovation and new technologies. With the changing time, the adaptability of new change makes a better work. We have modern technologies and in-house production, which makes us stand out in the market.

 

Myths about modular construction

• Modular means temporary
• Modular is all about ugly, grey boxes
• inflexible and restrictive in design and aesthetics
• Cold in winter, overheat in summer
• Have bouncy floors
