Types and Uses
Modular buildings have a multitude of uses and offer many advantages over conventional construction. Manufactured off-site, there is minimal disruption to operations at the intended location. The factory operation is not affected by weather, so construction time and costs are more predictable. The modular construction means versatility of layout and size and the buildings can be easily extended at a later date.
Although indistinguishable from conventional buildings once in place, modular buildings can be relocated if required.
Modular buildings may be used as temporary or permanent facilities and have proved invaluable on construction sites. Other popular uses are as classrooms and youth centres, changing rooms, workshops, canteens, ticket offices and storage at industrial or leisure sites. They can be installed in remote areas where conventional construction may be very difficult. A well-constructed modular building should last just as long as its site-built counterpart.
