1) Reduced construction time: Since modules are prefabricated off-site, they can be constructed simultaneously while the site work is ongoing. This reduces the overall construction time by up to 50%.
2) Cost effectiveness: Modular construction leads to significant cost saving as the construction process takes place in a controlled environment that reduces waste, utilizes resources more efficiently and eliminates potential delays and mistakes.
3) Quality control: Since the construction process takes place in a controlled environment with the use of high-precision equipment, materials and inspection systems, quality control is easier to implement, leading to better quality standards, only possible to achieve through precision assembly off-site.
4) Flexibility: Due to the modular construction process, construction spaces can be dismantled and reassembled, making it not only easy to expand the capacity, but also re-purpose under utilised spaces.
5) Sustainability: With a higher efficiency of resources and reduced construction waste, modular construction has a lower carbon footprint and is therefore much more sustainable and environmentally-friendly than traditional construction methods.
6) Reduced Site Disruption: As the modular units are built off-site and transported to the construction site for final assembly, it causes minimal site disruption and lessens any potential disturbance to the inhabitants of the existing building or the surrounding neighbouthood.
