Why modular construction

Modular construction improves efficiency, reduces costs and environmental impact, and supports sustainability by enabling faster build times, reusing components, and lowering carbon emissions.
Luca Papapietro

Modular construction, which involves prefabricating building components off-site, offers a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional construction. It improves productivity, cutting project timelines by up to 50% and reducing costs by up to 20%. The method also minimises disruption, reducing vehicle movements and pollution. 

Modular construction can help reduce waste and carbon emissions, contributing to circular built environments

While still emerging, it shows promise for reusing building components, lowering carbon footprints, and meeting strict environmental regulations.

For long-term success, the industry must prioritise sustainability and environmental impact alongside cost-efficiency and innovation.
