Modular buildings as an alternative to capital construction

Capital construction for a year or finished building assembled in a few days? Definitely, modular structures made of wood or metal win in the speed of construction. And whether the house of block containers - is it really an alternative to capital construction, in terms of reliability and convenience?

Modular buildings can be perceived only as temporary and household structures. Is it really possible to live comfortably in them and the hot summer, and freezing winters? Yes! In Europe, from the block-containers stand complete cottage complexes, schools, hotels and student hostels. In the U.S., they build houses and tourist houses.

Why modular buildings are becoming more and more popular

Modular buildings have many advantages over permanent structures:

• No need to obtain a building permit.
• There is no need for a massive foundation, which is expensive.
• The house is built quickly. If the project is individual, it takes a few weeks to create the modules in a factory. The building is assembled in one or a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the design.
• To the finished modular building can be attached to the block containers to expand the area.
• You can insulate the containers, and the wall thickness will not increase. Energy saving is 97% - heat loss is minimal due to hermetic insulation.
• Modular building can be transported and installed in another place.
• There are standard designs, individual design is possible.
• Modules can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled without loss of strength.

The disadvantage of modular buildings - limited opportunities for design and construction. Shapes block containers are designed for functionality and rational use of space. Buildings are obtained in the style of modernity, high-tech and minimalism. Another feature - the complexity of installation. Installation of modular houses is done by specialists.

When modular constructions can replace permanent buildings

Modules can be used in all cases where you need to quickly erect a house with minimal costs and a simple design with clear geometric shapes. Modular buildings become a full-fledged alternative to capital buildings for such tasks:

• Office of any size, where you can arrange offices, place equipment, waiting room for clients, the warehouse.
• Building for business: a hotel complex, hostel with rooms of different sizes, rooms for the kitchen, showers, toilets, a warehouse for household chemicals and products.
• Block-container can be equipped with a panoramic window and used as a retail outlet. Spacious stores and supermarkets with adjoining warehouse, kitchen, butcher shop and other household departments are built from modules.
• Residential buildings are from one to three stories high with standard or panoramic windows, fully equipped with the necessary utilities. If necessary, modular houses can be re-planned and rooms can be added. Thanks to the insulation, they do not overheat in summer and do not freeze in winter.
• Medical facilities, beauty salons, sports complexes - modular buildings can be used for the activities of the team in any field of service. Ceiling heights can be higher than standard, to accommodate equipment and inventory.

Manufacturers of modular buildings have all the licenses that meet international standards. Houses made of block containers comply with construction standards and are reliable if erected by professionals.
