Advantages and Disadvantages of Modular Construction, including Environmental Impacts

Abstract Similar to other fields, the construction industry tends constantly evolve. There is an increasing demand for of new buildings regarding speed process, economy, and minimization negative effects on environment, i.e. sustainability. These requirements can be met by using prefabrication this construction. Modular represents one technologies that becoming increasingly popular worldwide. The topic article use modular construction, even from sustainability point view. a basic overview its history in field, materials used, possibilities implementation. Furthermore, provides advantages disadvantages are listed terms quality, time, ecology as well flexibility work safety, both during production assembly site. discussed complicated transportation modules, demanding coordination requirement detailed planning, non-acceptance technology general, sometimes professional public. This also deals with comparison conventional technologies. It points out possibility reusing disassembled buildings. ways control mitigate impact environment throughout life cycle building. Only after thorough analysis these aspects it possible explore further increase efficiency all directions make better environmental potential.
