Modular construction in the commercial sector
There are challenges faced by the construction industry, particularly in housing, due to unpredictable demand affecting manufacturing facility utilisation. Modular construction, with a focus on volumetric technology, emerges as a competitive alternative. Strategic partnerships, digital technologies like AI and IoT, and adherence to Building Information Modelling (BIM) drive advancements.
Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) becomes crucial in public projects, requiring at least 70% pre-manufacturing. The golden thread concept, mandated by the UK government, ensures traceability and data availability throughout a building's lifecycle. Volumetric modular construction offers accurate, reliable information, meeting commercial sector demands for efficiency, quality, and safety.
