10 Reasons Why the Future Lies in Modular Construction

Recent changes in build methods are having a positive impact on the construction industry.

A few Facts about modular builds – Clearing up any misconceptions 

Modular and manufactured homes are not considered the same. Modular homes unlike manufactured homes are placed on permanent foundations.  The modular build system refers to when part or all of the structure is built off-site (95%+), utilising modern production techniques combined with precision engineering within a climate and quality controlled factory environment. They are simply homes which are built off-site!

  • They must conform to specific rules, guidelines and building codes that often surpass those of traditional on-site homes. Regulated by third party inspectors.
  • Modular homes are “Real Property”
  • Modular homes appraise the same as their on-site counterparts do, and do not depreciate in value.
  • Home loans and mortgages are the same for both modular builds and traditional
  • Insurance premiums are the same for modular builds and traditional
  • Taxes on modular builds are the same as onsite built homes.

So why is this quickly becoming an industrial revolution? 10 reasons why

  1. Modular homes are considered a form of Green building.
  2. Efficiencies in production within closed quality controlled facilities. 
  3. Precision engineered machinery combined with computer generated design, results in uniform product.
  4. Accuracy and reduction in timescale.
  5. Reduction in waste = predictability in material cost.
  6. Consistent levels of craftsmanship, removing all inefficiencies associated with a traditional build method = A Standardised quality
  7. No design limitations: can be customised which means dreams can be created.
  8. Reduction in disruption to the neighbourhood.
  9. Material all stored internally not exposed to elements before being treated.
  10. Fixed price

The future lies in Modular Construction

It is no surprise that the construction industry is favouring the modular build method and is moving quickly in this direction. By removing all the inconsistencies associated with a more traditional build method, modular homes provide a consistent, higher standard of build. They deliver superior quality specifications, with a better energy efficiency. They are constructed in a fraction of the timeframe  and all for a similar price as their on-site counterparts.
