Overcoming 6 Fears About Modular Construction

1. Boxed Aesthetics: Modular Buildings Have a Boxy, Shipping-Container Look

• Flexible Modules: At Factory Modular, we embrace a flexible module system that allows us to create an array of shapes and sizes, ensuring our structures are anything but ordinary.
• Engineered Elegance: Our focus on using large engineered panels or elements, rather than conventional boxes, lends an architectural finesse to our creations.
• Artful Asymmetry: By employing asymmetric modules and exploring diverse orientations, we craft visually captivating designs.
• Aesthetic Joints: We incorporate module joints into our aesthetic strategy, turning them into design features that add character to the building.

2. Transporting Fresh Air Woes: Hauling Empty Space Along the Highway

• Engineered Efficiency: Our commitment to using engineered panels instead of bulky boxes ensures that we optimize transportation space.
• Localized Manufacturing: Factory Modular champions local manufacturing, minimizing the need for extensive transportation.
• Pop-Up Solutions: We harness movable manufacturing technology, setting up "pop-up" factories in proximity to construction sites, reducing transportation distances.

3. Cost Concerns: The Myth of Exorbitant Modular Construction Costs

• Demand Diversification: Factory Modular broadens its client base, catering not only to residential needs but also to student housing and hotel accommodation, thus boosting demand.
• Savings for Builders: We offer cost-effective solutions for volume housebuilders grappling with escalating labor costs and shortages.
• Affordable Automation: As automation technology becomes more accessible, costs of hardware and software for manufacturing processes are continually decreasing.

4. Premium Pricing: Off-Site Manufacturers Charging Unreasonably High Rates

• Value in Quality: Factory Modular acknowledges the premium pricing while guaranteeing enhanced speed, superior quality, and unwavering reliability in return.
• Strategic Collaborations: Contractors and developers can collaborate with us through long-term partnerships or develop in-house capabilities for modular construction.

5. Height Limitations: Modular Construction's Restriction on Vertical Growth

• Innovative Solutions: Factory Modular employs a hot-rolled steel system, empowering us to construct taller and structurally robust buildings.
• Settling Compensation: We engineer our systems with built-in adjustments to counteract settling, ensuring the durability and longevity of our structures.
• Hybrid Harmony: By seamlessly combining extensive off-site fabrication with traditional core or frame construction, we transcend height barriers.
• Precision through Technology: Leveraging Building Information Modeling (BIM) and automated manufacturing, we achieve finer tolerances, facilitating vertical expansion.

6. Design Complexity: Navigating the Challenges of Comprehensive Design Implementation

• Visualizing Virtuosity: We employ advanced 3D computer visualization techniques to aid clients in early design decisions, fostering clarity and alignment.
• Unified Collaboration: Factory Modular thrives on sharing information across a common design platform or Building Information Model, ensuring seamless collaboration.
• Clear Communication: By effectively communicating requirements to clients and specialist designers in the project's nascent stages, we streamline the design process.

 
Factory Modular is dedicated to erasing these misconceptions through innovation, collaboration, and advanced engineering. Our commitment to pushing the boundaries of modular construction while addressing concerns is shaping a future where efficiency, sustainability, and aesthetics converge seamlessly.
