The construction industry is increasingly using modular constructions. Increasing numbers of companies are selecting them as their first option. Numerous reasons contribute to this pervasive acceptance. Modular constructions are adaptable, provide versatility, can be constructed rapidly, and create minimal disruption on the construction site. As this is a modern innovation, however, there are still many myths around it. In this blog post, we will dispel the five most common myths regarding prefabricated modular structures.
- Modular buildings have a propensity to hinder job performance
The reality is just the opposite. Modularly constructed frameworks can minimise building and construction time by as much as 60 percent, hence minimising site disturbances. Prefabrication entails the construction of a structure in a factory setting. The building components have subsequently arrived at the construction site for installation.
- They are not constructed to last
Modular constructions adhere to the same architectural and construction standards as conventional ones. Therefore, they must meet the same criteria for safety and security as well as architectural integrity. A modular structure can survive an average of 25 years. It is therefore a fallacy that modular constructions are less durable.
- They lack originality
Prefabricated modular constructions have evolved throughout time. Modular buildings today provide more plan options and customization options than ever before. From the exterior to the interior, wall claddings, insulation, and the roof can all be constructed according to the clients’ specifications.
- Modular buildings are not environmentally sustainable
Almost everywhere, ecological variables are a topic of conversation, and home builders strive to maintain sustainability by decreasing their carbon footprint. In comparison to conventional structures, modular ones are considerably more durable. This is because the majority of the construction process occurs in a factory, a controlled environment. So that less building and construction debris is left at the construction site. As these structures are modular, they may be removed and recycled.
- Prefabricated modular buildings lack visual appeal
At EPACK Prefab, we create based on client specifications. While some businesses require similar-looking commercial facilities, this is not a one-size-fits-all solution available to all clients. Modular prefabricated houses can be created creatively with a variable layout. From sandwich panels for wall and roof cladding to glass exteriors, a mix and match of materials used cosmetically can freshen up your structural design exponentially!
EPACK Prefab is one of India’s major prefabricated construction manufacturers. Our products include storage facilities such as warehouses, factory buildings, airport terminals, agriculture buildings, commercial sheds, construction site offices, and prefabricated hostels, among others.
