Modular Solutions

Modular buildings are those which are made up of constructed from pre-formed sections (modules)

Steel Modular buildings are those which are made up of constructed from pre-formed sections (modules) where the predominant structure is formed of formed steel sections

Traditional types of foundation can be used for the uses of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), however, as most MMC buildings tend to be lighter than traditional buildings the foundations can generally be scaled back to suit MMC if this is considered early enough in the project

Modular properties tend to be readily assembled and sent to site as preformed units. There are many levels of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC); modular fully formed at one end and stick materials at the other. In between, there are preformed walls and everything else too

Build speed and offsite, factory precision are two of the major factors in choosing MMC - whilst it is impossible to be accurate without sight of contract or building-specific details it is generally accepted that MMC provides a far superior and determinable advantage over std construction methods

Modular homes tend to be built from a transportable frame that is filled with panels and other intermediate products and finishes to provide a fast transportable and quickly installed construction solution

Built correctly modular and other methods of MMC will enjoy similar life spans to more traditional methods of construction. However, we appreciate that there may be some scepticism as MMC has not been in use long enough to prove or disprove this theory.
