What Is a Modular Building?
A modular building is a construction method where modules prefabricated in factories are assembled on-site to create structures.
Modules are box-like structures that integrate floors, walls, ceilings, and facilities, available in various shapes and sizes. The construction process involves fabricating modules in factories, transporting them to the site, lifting and installing them using cranes, and connecting them. Modular buildings are used in various locations such as hotels, office buildings, schools, hospitals, residences, shops, and temporary facilities.
Modular buildings are characterized by short construction periods and low costs, stable quality, minimal environmental impact, high design flexibility, and scalability, among others. However, it’s important to note that a modular building may have limitations regarding module sizes and shapes, and the requirement for large cranes.
