Why choose modular?
Modular (Off-Site) Construction | On-Site Construction | |
Speed | Significantly faster; build times reduced by 30-50% due to simultaneous site preparation and module fabrication in a controlled environment. | Typically longer due to sequential processes and potential delays. |
Weather Dependency | Minimal impact from weather conditions as modules are built indoors, ensuring consistent progress. | Susceptible to weather-related delays, which can extend project timelines. |
Quality Control | Enhanced quality due to factory-controlled settings, leading to precise construction and consistent standards. | Quality can vary based on site conditions and workforce variability. |
Cost Predictability | Typically 5-15% less that on site construction. | Higher potential for unexpected costs due to on-site issues and design changes during construction. |
Environmental Impact | Reduced material waste and lower carbon emissions from transportation compared to on-site construction. | Typically generates more waste and has a larger environmental footprint due to transportation and on-site activities. |
Labor Efficiency | Increased labor productivity, with studies showing a 30% improvement in off-site projects compared to on-site projects. | Lower labor productivity; requires more labor hours to complete similar projects. |
Site Disruption | Minimal disruption to the site and surrounding areas, as most construction occurs off-site. | Greater site disturbance due to prolonged on-site activities and material storage. |
Safety | Improved worker safety due to controlled factory environments and standardized processes. | Higher safety risks associated with variable site conditions and weather exposure. |
