The first thing you should keep in mind is that modular buildings are built to the same codes that conventional “stick built” buildings are constructed by. This should put your mind at ease about this method of prefabricated construction. Factory-built modular buildings are constructed in a more controlled environment than on-site stick built structures. This environment provides so many advantages for you it is almost impossible to list them all.
The first benefit to the manufacturer is safety. Having the liberty to lay out the building process in phases around a factory provides the management team with more tools to provide a stable and safe working environment.
The second benefit is heightened quality. During the manufacturing process the quality control management team inspects your building during each phase of construction insuring you a good product.
The third benefit is that the modular construction process is environmentally friendly. Many of the steps builders have taken to “Go Green” are not new to the modular industry. The recycling of cardboard, steel and wood is much easier to do in the factory environment and this practice has been going on for years.
Another benefit of modular construction is time-savings. One of the big time advantages is that while your site infrastructure can be installed and your building can be manufactured simultaneously. This is where you can really see the results of this type of accelerated construction. In conventional stick built construction, after all of your permits are in hand you can break ground. The underground work (water sewer etc) has to be done before you even start you building pad. By choosing the modular building process our building can be under construction in plant at the same time your site work is being prepared. By splitting the required construction processes into, you have accelerated your project completion move in date.
Another important benefit of modular construction is cost savings. It may be hard to determine the money saved from time in choosing this accelerated type of construction, but if you believe that time is money you are already ahead in savings.
Another way you save money is the “scrap factor”. In typical “on-site construction” ten percent or more is added to the cost of your building material for just this purpose. Factory built buildings and manufactured buildings will achieve less than a five percent “scrap factor.” This saving is passed directly on to you the consumer.
