The wonders of construction: Modular buildings explained
Modular buildings are a versatile and practical construction solution. Known by a number of other names including prefabs, mobile homes and temporary buildings, they consist of a number of units which are manufactured off-site and then delivered and put together to make a structure in situ.
Types of modular buildings became popular after the Second World War as they were used to replace buildings destroyed by bombs. They are relatively cheap and quick to build and can have one or several levels.
They are used in all sorts of applications where a temporary structure is needed. For instance large scale building projects such as skyscrapers or office blocks need a control hub on-site which will be operational for several months. This could serve as a foreman’s office where essential documentation can be stored – although storage containers are better suited for large pieces of equipment – and meetings can be held. Modular buildings are the ideal answer for these temporary functions.
However, modular buildings are becoming increasingly accepted as housing solutions. Obviously the level of acceptance of these varies from place to place. In the US and Australia they are an established form of home in many of the more remote regions as it is not viable for a team of builders to be located there for the duration of a brick build, but here in the UK there is still a stigma attached when they are used for permanents housing. That said, the speed of construction and lack of waste and disturbance to the surrounding area makes modular buildings an option for permanent applications.
