Postitatud Suurbritannia foorum

Modular Construction is a process that uses different modules which are manufactured in a factory. The Modular Buildings are transported to your site on completion, ready for assembly, craned into position.
They can be stacked or placed side-by-side to create a larger space.

There are two types of Modular Construction; Relocatable and Permanent.

They can be fitted with different interior and exterior finishes. They are manufactured in less time than traditional construction methods and on-site building projects.

Examples of how these are used are; schools, site offices, healthcare, salesrooms.
