As an expert in the construction industry, I have seen firsthand the benefits and challenges of modular construction. This innovative building design involves constructing each room or space separately, using prefabricated modules. These modules can come in various forms, including 2D panels, 3D modules, and hybrid modular construction. The flexibility and productivity of hybrid modular construction make it a popular choice for builders looking to cover a wide range of rooms and environments.
With options such as balconies, atriums, and staircases, modular buildings offer maximum versatility in their design. Not only that, but modular construction also has significant environmental benefits. According to The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), up to 67% less energy is required to produce a modular building compared to a traditionally built one. This makes it an attractive option for addressing pressing issues such as homelessness and rising housing prices.
