The benefits of modular construction are widely recognized
by a majority of the housing industry. More builders than ever are enjoying the
time savings and efficiency of modular building, even commercial construction.
While time savings and efficiency are two of the best known benefits of modular
construction, they are certainly not the only ones. Other benefits include:
- Indoor construction prevents damage to interior portions of the structure
- Indoor storage protects building materials from damage or deterioration due to adverse weather and moisture
- Modular structures are stronger due to their being designed to handle the stresses of traveling from the factory to the jobsite
- Modular factories participate in strict QA/QC Programs
- Building in a controlled environment reduces waste by recycling materials and protecting supplies
One
little known advantage, however, is the jobsite. Site built homes require space
for supplies, such as stacks of lumber, trusses, fixtures, etc. Modular homes
require little space for storing materials since most of the work was performed
at the factory. This means a more attractive jobsite for neighbors, and a
quicker clean-up. Take a look at the photo to the right and see the difference
for yourself. Not only was the modular home completed in 5 hours, the jobsite
is neat and tidy for neighbors. This also means that with little materials
sitting around the jobsite, there is less chance of small nails and screws
being left behind to be stepped on or driver over.
One more reason more and more families and businesses are
choosing modular.
