Modular Buildings, meaning, uses and benefits

What are they?

Modular buildings are buildings made up of standardised sections called modules, manufactured within a factory before transportation to the future location.

This way of construction is a fast way of assembling and building, and can take as much as half of the turnaround time than conventionally built facilities.

Modular Buildings span a variety of industries, and this is often due to the flexibility and durability they provide.

Typical uses of a modular building include:
  • Office Space
  • Rental Units
  • Housing – such as granny annexes
  • Sports Facilities
  • Educational Facilities
  • Retail
So what’s in it for me?

Modular Buildings have many advantages from reducing cost to increased deliverability speed.

 

Speed – Once planning has been confirmed by NAPC, your build can be ready in a few short months.

 

Minimal Disruption – Due to manufacturing at a dedicated factory means at least 80% of your project activity is completed away from the site. So, there’s far less noise, pollution, and mess to be endured by neighbours and the local community.

 

Flexibility –  Modular buildings can be easily expanded, reduced, reconfigured or relocated to meet your changing needs.

 

Cost – The offsite build structure reduces the cost of manufacturing.

 

Durability – Providers that NAPC work with often provide a 10-year guarantee on builds. A modular building or annexe should last 60+ years.

 

Sustainability – Due to materials ultilised, green technologies, reduced waste and much less deliveries to site, make the annexe or modular building a sustainable route.

 

I have more questions about how a modular building would benefit me?
