(1) In terms of design
Clear functional zoning
Modular housing organizes spaces with the same function into a single unit, and achieves the transformation of the building from a unit to a whole through the combination of unit modular integration. For example, in a large modular residential project, all bedroom modules will be centralized in one area, while kitchen and dining room modules will be centralized in another area, making it easier to flexibly combine layouts according to needs.
Meet personalized needs
Consumers can customize modular homes according to their preferences, no longer limited to the model housing provided by real estate developers. They can imbue their homes with emotional elements and design the style they want, in line with people's imagination and pursuit of living environments in different eras.
(2) Construction aspect
Efficient and fast
Adopting the method of factory centralized prefabrication of production components and on-site assembly, instead of traditional on-site decentralized construction. In a residential project near Valencia, eight modules were used to organize the order of home space, interior, and exterior, greatly reducing the construction period.
Low carbon and environmentally friendly
The modular structure system has the characteristics of low-carbon and environmental protection. Some modular residences use construction waste and mineral waste as raw materials to assemble green, pollution-free, fire-resistant and earthquake resistant buildings. During construction operations, zero pollution and waterless construction can be achieved, and the construction period is shortened by two-thirds compared to traditional building time.
Quality advantage
The modular system is easier to achieve intelligent construction of residential buildings under modern technological conditions, with advantages such as strong earthquake resistance, fast construction, excellent quality, good efficiency, and good building performance. Its building components meet the same standards and use the same materials as traditional buildings.
(3) Economic aspect
Cost savings
Made from prefabricated components, it can reduce costs. According to a report by the National Real Estate Investment Corporation, the scale of modular construction business has doubled in the past five years, becoming an industry worth $8 billion. Improving productivity and reducing costs are driving contractors to adopt modular structures, especially as material costs continue to rise globally, making the cost saving advantages even more apparent.
Reduce waste
More than 70% of the surveyed contractors stated that modular structures can reduce material waste, which is also an important economic advantage for them.
