The world is increasingly adopting modular buildings for construction. More and more companies are choosing them as their first choice. The reasons for this wide acceptance are plenty. Modular buildings are versatile, offer flexibility, can be built fast and causes minimal disruption to a construction site. However, since this is a new age technology, there is still quite a few myths surrounding it. In this blog we will correct 5 most talked about misconceptions of prefabricated modular buildings
- Modular buildings tend to disrupt work productivity
The reality is quite the opposite. Prefabricated structures that are modular can reduce construction time by upto 60 percent, which in turn reduces disruptions caused at the site. In prefabrication, construction happens off-site in factory conditions. The building components are then carried to the construction site for installation.
- They are not built to last
Modular buildings follow the same construction regulations as traditional. So they are bound to meet the same standards of safety and quality for structural integrity. On an average, a modular building can last for 25 years. So it is nothing but a myth that modular buildings do not last long.
- They lack creativity
Modular prefabricated structures have evolved over time.The modular buildings of today offer more design options and the ability to customise than ever before. From exterior to interior, wall claddings, insulation, roofing, everything can be custom built to the required specification as given by the clients.
- Modular buildings are not environmentally sustainable
Environmental factors are the talk of the town everywhere and builders are constantly trying to maintain sustainability by reducing their carbon footprint. When compared to traditional construction, modular ones are far more sustainable. This is because majority of the building process happens in factory, which is a controlled environment. So there is minimal construction waste left out at the site. Being modular in nature, these buildings can be disassembled and reused.
- Modular prefab buildings lack aesthetic appeal
At EPACK we build according to client specifications. While there are companies that need similar looking industrial buildings, this is not a one size fits all solution given to every client. Modular prefab buildings can be made creatively in a manner that the design remains versatile. From sandwich panels for wall and roof cladding to glass exteriors, a mix and match of materials done aesthetically can spruce up your building design manifolds!
