The scale of modular construction

We already know perfectly well what a modular house and modular construction technology are, and we know that these houses are no different from ordinary classic houses. In previous articles, we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of various technologies, frames of buildings, etc., so if it is a completely complete technology and full-fledged structures, is it possible to build high-rise buildings using this technology?
The answer is obvious: MAYBE!

And not only possible! For a long time, this technology has been used for large-scale construction around the world. Factories, manufacturers of modular structures, sell their high-rise buildings as finished products to developers and mount modular skyscrapers.

A few years ago, a Polish company, a manufacturer of modular houses, implemented one interesting project: a hotel in New York, in Manhattan, 6th Avenue, 842. The customer was the worldwide marriott hotel chain.

Currently under construction on modular technology in London, the building consists of two baths of 44 and 38 floors. The total number of modules is 1,500 pcs.

In Singapore in 2023, the construction of the tallest building built using modular technology with a height of 192 m will be completed, 3,000 modules will be used.

Comments of customers and developers are unanimous: we have saved a lot of time, and time is money. Thanks to the implementation of many processes in parallel, thanks to the localization of all specialists and engineers in one production, the maximum effect in the speed and quality of production is achieved. And due to the short deadlines, the cost of such houses is significantly reduced, due to saving the cost of administrative and general production costs. The house is produced twice as fast, respectively, the maintenance of production is much cheaper than the maintenance of a construction company with a construction site.

Now let's compare a little. For example, in 1 year a house will be built using classical monolithic-frame technology, 20 floors, enclosing structures, facades, roofing, internal engineering networks, etc., customers will receive an apartment in such a house, completely without finishing and without the possibility of living in such an apartment. Then the design project, or without it, and then the most finishing work, furniture, etc. all this history will be delayed, at best, for 2 years. But, for the same 1 year, the manufacturer of houses using modular technology, will build the same 20-storey building, already with decoration in each apartment. You will not need to wait, look at the slow process of finishing your home. Everything is completely ready! Buy and live! Today, time is too compacted, and waiting for your coveted home for 2-3 years is too expensive.

What does all this say? This suggests that even the construction industry is gradually switching to conveyor production of houses. When a manufacturer focuses all its resources on one production and has the ability to sell houses of any size around the world.

There are no borders anymore! In a good sense of that expression.
