The document discusses modular construction, a method where building components are prefabricated off-site and then assembled on-site, leading to higher quality buildings with reduced construction time and environmental impact. It outlines various types of modular construction, such as permanent modular construction and relocated buildings, and highlights their advantages like speed, indoor construction, and low waste, while also noting disadvantages like financing challenges. A case study of 'Caramel Place' is included, detailing its specifications, costs, and completion time.

2. •An increasing number of building projects across several markets are using modular construction,
the process by which components of building are prefabricated off-site in a controlled setting and
then shipped to the project site and assembled.
•According to research conducted by McGraw-Hill construction, when implemented effectively this
approach has been shown to result in a higher quality building, delivered in a shorter time frame,
with more predicated costs and fewer environmental impacts for example, through reduced
material use and waste.
INTRODUCTION:-

3. •Modular construction is a pre-engineered process of
making any structures or elements in a factory that is
off-site and are delivered to the sites and assembled as
large volumetric components or as substantial elements
of any structures.
•Buildings are produced in “modules” that when put
together on site, reflect the identical design intent and
specifications of the most sophisticated site-built facility
without compromise.
Modular construction

4. •To prefabricated single or multi-story buildings.
•Based on around standard 20 foot containers.
•Using the same dimensions, structures building and placing techniques.
•Permanent modular construction(PMC) buildings are manufactured in a controlled setting and
can be constructed of wood, steel, or concrete.
•Modular components are typically constructed indoors on assembly lines.
•Modules construction may take as little as ten days but more often one to three months.
•PMC modules can be integrated into site built projects or stand alone and can be delivered with
MEP(Mechanical, electrical and plumbing) fixtures and interior finishes.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS:-

5. •The buildings are 60% to 90% completed offsite in a factory-controlled environment and
transported and assembled at final building site.
•This can comprise the entire building or be components or subassemblies of larger structures.

6. The following are key measurement metrics that were considered for measurement:
1. Percentage of onsite vs. offsite construction via modular technology
2. Project Timing
3. Cost saving

7. TYPE OF MODULES:-
4-sides modules Partially open-sided
modules
Open sided modules Modules supported by a
primary structure

8. Mixed modules and floor cassettes
Non load bearing modules
Special stair or lift modules

9. 1. Permanent Modular Construction:
•PMC is an innovative, sustainable construction delivery
method utilizing offsite.
•PMC modules can be integrated into site built projects.
•It can be delivered with MEP, fixtures and interior finishes
in less time with less waste.
TYPES OF MODULAR CONSTRUCTION:-

10. 2. Relocated Buildings:
•RB is partially or completely assembled building that
complies with applicable codes.
•Relocated buildings are designed to be reused or
repurposed multiple times and transported to different
building sites.
•They are utilized for schools, construction site offices,
medical clinics.
•These buildings offer fast delivery, ease of relocation, low
cost reconfiguration, accelerated depreciation schedules
and enormous flexibility.

11. Advantages:
•Speed of construction/Faster return on
investment
•Indoor construction
•Ability to service remote locations
•Low waste
•Environmentally friendly construction process
•Quality
•Improved air quality
 Disadvantages:
• Volumetric
• Flexibility
• Some financial institutions may be hesitant
to offer a loan for a modular home.
