Modular Building FAQs
We understand a building project can be complicated, hopefully our FAQs will go some way in providing a few answers for you!
No. “Modular” describes how a building is manufactured, not a single construction method.
There are two main approaches:
-
Volumetric modular, where complete box units are delivered to site
-
Panelised modular, where wall and roof panels are manufactured off site and assembled on site
These methods differ significantly in flexibility, transport constraints, appearance and long-term performance. Understanding the difference helps organisations choose the right solution for their site and use case.
With a turnkey solution, we take responsibility for designing, manufacturing, testing and commissioning, leaving you (the customer) to simply use the finished product or service. A quick and easy benefit of a turnkey solution is that it saves time and reduces complexity for you.
This can vary depending on two main factors, the size of the building and the ground condition. We have experience in all types of foundation systems including, but not limited to: concrete pads, traditional strip foundations, piling system, ground screws and more.
