What are some advantages of modular and prefabricated building construction?
A. The most significant advantage of prefabricated building construction is time savings. Site-built buildings are subject to weather conditions, subcontractor delays, waits for permits, and labor shortages. Modular offices are built on a controlled timetable, in a factory environment. Typically a standard commercial modular building can be constructed in as little as 45 days. Time savings also occur because site preparation can be completed while the building is being constructed at the factory. Mobile office construction also provides a cost saving due to standardization of the engineering process, bulk purchase of building materials and the controlled factory construction environment. As a result, a standard modular building can cost up to 20% less than a traditionally constructed building. An additional advantage is gained in the quality of construction. A standardized construction method with skilled and knowledgeable labor means an MBS modular building is not dependent on the vag
