5 Ways Modular Construction Saves You Money

In the world of construction, things can get a little unwieldy. There are a lot of moving parts (literally) and it only takes one wrong measurement or misstep to result in one huge setback. And while you can take certain measures to prevent mistakes from happening, you’re better off preparing for the unknown and factoring in time and money for those unpredictable predicaments.

Modular construction is an alternative mode of construction that involves offsite, indoor construction and simultaneous site work that helps mitigate those unforeseen, expensive problems. While not completely foolproof, modular construction is a more streamlined process that eliminates certain risks associated with traditional, stick built construction. Here’s a look at how modular construction can save you time and ultimately, money.

No Weather Delays

Modules, the building blocks of modular construction, are manufactured indoors in a factory setting. There’s no need to account for weather delays or damage caused by inclement conditions which often results in botched construction timelines.

Reduced Theft

Raw materials and equipment are stored and monitored in a controlled environment which prevents construction site theft.

Less Site Clean Up

Modular construction produces less on-site waste meaning you don’t have to dedicate time or labor to clean up your construction site.

Faster Build Times

Indoor manufacturing is inherently more time efficient because it utilizes an assembly line approach. Additionally, module fabrication can take place at the same time as your site work and foundation work, cutting your timeline nearly in half.

Shorter Financing Period

An overall shorter construction timeline reduces the amount of interest you will accrue during that time.

From reduced weather delays to shorter financing periods, modular construction offers a wealth of benefits that makes it an overall more cost effective way to build. Ready to get started on your modular project today? Contact us today for a quote and more information!
