Increased cost savings – Modular building can cut costs by 20-30%. A shorter build time saves money on overall construction. Labour costs are less, as prefab construction uses more factory workers and less skilled tradesmen like plumbers and electricians.
Green – Modular building is energy efficient, improved thermal values, materials and layouts means that these buildings cost less to run and are future friendly. Most materials are produced in the factory meaning fewer vehicles on site reducing air and noise pollution.
