Build at breakneck speed
The modular method
Aside from new building codes every now and then, building methods in the construction industry have remained the same for decades. We’re rethinking the construction process using modern methods like modular construction.
In modular construction, buildings are constructed off-site in a factory setting, creating “modules” that are then put together on site. We’ve built more than 1,500 homes in the affordable housing and rental sector using modular construction and have found there’s more cost certainty, as well as lower CO2 emissions.
Benefits of modular
Quicker build times
- Modules can be built in the factory at the same time as foundations and other site work is happening
Increased safety controls
- The factory setting makes it easier to reduce safety risks
- Fewer people and less time on site means less chance of incidents
Less neighbourhood disruption
- Shorter build times
- Fewer material and equipment deliveries
Higher quality
- The factory setting offers a climate-controlled space
- The factory setting allows for many more inspections during the build process
