As an expert in the construction industry, I have seen firsthand the benefits of modular construction. This innovative process involves building structures off-site, in a controlled environment, using the same materials and codes as traditional construction, but in half the time. At Mobile Modular, we offer a variety of modular building floor plans to cater to a wide range of industries, from healthcare to construction and everything in between. There are two main types of modular construction: volumetric and non-volumetric. Volumetric modular construction involves assembling fully enclosed modules, while non-volumetric modular construction involves nearly enclosed modules.
These modules are thoroughly inspected, tested, and certified before being delivered to the site. One of the biggest advantages of modular construction is its flexibility. By combining different structural systems with our permanent modular construction process at Ramtech, we can take on a wider range of projects without sacrificing the speed and cost advantages that come with modular construction. Another advantage is the use of lightweight materials. Since relocatable buildings are only installed for a short period of time, they are built using lightweight wood and rigid plastic materials. On the other hand, permanent modular buildings, such as prefab houses, are built to meet or exceed the standards of traditional site-built properties, ensuring high levels of quality control. Modular construction also offers minimal disruptions on site.
Since the building sections are manufactured off-site, there is less traffic and noise pollution on the construction site. This makes it an ideal option for remote locations or areas affected by natural disasters where on-site construction may be difficult and expensive. The transportation process is also much more convenient with modular construction. Once the modules are fully manufactured, they can be easily transported to the construction site. The only aspect of modular construction that takes place on site is the assembly of the prefabricated modules. One of the most exciting developments in modular construction is the customization options available for healthcare facilities.
Modular health centers can be tailored to meet the specific needs and specifications of hospitals and clinics. Additionally, some modular construction companies offer flexible leasing options and have fleets of pre-built structures ready to be deployed. The size of modular building sections is also worth noting. Typically, they are 10 to 14 feet wide and 30 to 70 feet long, making them easy to transport and assemble on site. This standardized size also allows for easier integration into existing structures or future expansions. In conclusion, modular construction offers numerous advantages over traditional construction methods.
Its flexibility, use of lightweight materials, minimal disruptions on site, and convenient transportation make it a popular choice for a variety of industries. As an expert in this field, I highly recommend considering modular construction for your next project.
