Modern Modular Buildings

Modular Buildings create space on the premises and in the budget as they are cheaper than fixed buildings and serve the same purposes. The multiple prefabricated wall sections are called modules and the area of the modular building is determined by the number and size of the modules. These modules allow ease of assembly and quick installation for a novice and a professional. These structures gained popularity as schools expanded and required space for laboratories, sewing classes, woodwork rooms and after-school care. The pre-engineered buildings could no longer cater for the masses and people were looking for a cheaper way to expand than fixed buildings that would be costly and take too long to build. The building sounds of hammers and drilling would disrupt the peace and distract students, so these modular relocatable buildings were constructed off site and delivered to the school or assembled in the parking lot. Apart from the noise, building also causes mess and the labourers are noisy when they are in group and there is inadequate supervision. Most of the construction occurs at the factory and this makes deadlines easier to adhere to and it is more convenient for the client without the noise and hassle. Buildings can even be customised and the floor plan is agreed by client and designer.
