Technology

Modular construction is an off-site construction in which a building’s components, or modules, are constructed in a factory setting and later transported to site for assembly.

The modular units may form complete rooms, parts of rooms, or separate highly serviced units such as toilets or lifts. 

Modulex is setting up the World’s Largest and India’s First Steel Modular Building Factory – Modulex. Modulex is a project that aims to harness the potential of an emerging, dynamic market like India, and support its growing need with a practical and profitable solution for its construction. Modulex will bring highly advanced and sophisticated technologies from the developed half of the world and apply it to growth markets. Modular production costs are cheaper in India, which would bring down the overall construction costs of a project.

       1. Speed of build

Modular building projects are usually completed 30-50% quicker than traditional construction methods. When using modular, the indoor construction process can take place alongside site and foundations work and there is no need to worry about weather delays.

2. Off-site construction

Modular buildings are constructed off-site in modules and are then transported on-site site in flat-packed panels, ready for build.

3. Minimal impact on surrounding businesses

The advantage of building modular is that it removes 80% of the construction activity away from the site location – creating minimum disruption to businesses surrounding the site.

4. Eco-friendly materials

Modular buildings are built with eco-friendly building materials and are leading the market with their use of recycled materials. The process of off-site construction ensures less waste, too. 

5. Cost-effective

Modular constructions are very cost-effective, with flexible payment options available and a shorter construction time. The design service is often included too, saving design and architectural costs.

6. Attractive design

Thanks to innovative and practical design, using the best quality sustainable building materials, modular constructions can creative unique and attractive designs.

7. Bespoke options available

Modular buildings have the bespoke design, which means that each building is tailored to your needs. Modular buildings can be custom-made to fit with your exact space and budget requirements.

8. Flexibility of use

Modular buildings are extremely flexible, thanks to their bespoke design. Modular buildings can meet your requirements with the perfect flexible extra space.

9. High quality construction

Quality and safety are guaranteed due to indoor nature of construction, and the building materials are protected from moisture and weather during the construction process.

10. Durable materials

Modular buildings are constructed with the most durable construction materials to ensure that the construction is built to last. The materials used for internal walls improve sound insulation and fire-proofing, and modular building structures are extremely airtight which ensures their energy-efficiency.

Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) buildings are typically constructed indoors in a controlled factory environment on assembly lines.
