Various benefits of modular construction

Modular construction belongs to a method by which a building is developed off-site, under controlled plant conditions, with the use of the equivalent materials and designing based on the similar codes and standards as traditionally built facilities.

The construction can be done very rapidly. Buildings are built up in “modules” and assembled on site retaining the similar design intent and specifications.

Due to the factory-controlled process, fewer wastes are produced with fewer site disturbances and the construction process becomes tighter.

Greater Flexibility and Reuse: Modular buildings are easily detached and the modules are displaced or refurbished for being utilized newly thus curtailing the demand for raw materials and reducing the amount of energy extended to develop a building to fulfill the new requirement.

Less Material Waste: While developing in a factory, waste is reduced by recycling materials, controlling inventory and safeguarding building materials.

Superior Air Quality: Since the modular structure is physically finished in a factory-controlled setting with dry materials, the possibility for high levels of moisture being confined in the new construction is removed.

Compact Construction Schedule: Construction of modular buildings continues all together with site work & foundation work, facilitating the projects for being finished in half the time (30% to 50% faster) of conventional construction.

Removal of Weather Delays: 60 - 90% of the construction is done inside a factory, which alleviates the risk of weather delays. Buildings are captured quicker, facilitating a speedier return on investment.

Built to Code with Quality Materials: Modular buildings are constructed to satisfy or go beyond the identical building codes and standards as site-built structures, and the equivalent architect-specified materials applied in typically constructed buildings are utilized in modular construction projects – wood, concrete and steel.

Modular buildings are constructed with the identical materials and to the similar building codes and architectural specifications as conventional construction. After being assembled, they are physically impossible to differentiate from their site-built counterparts.

Safest Construction: The interior construction environment minimizes the risks of accidents and associated obligations for workers.

Superior Engineered Building & BIM: PMC depends on improved BIM for visualization to evaluate the energy performance and recognize the most money-spinning efficiency measures. PMC is best suited where the construction method is already a collaboration of systems, materials and people.

Unlimited Design Scopes: Modular units are designed to accommodate with external aesthetics of any prevailing building and modular units.

Create any 3d printable construction building instantly with modular architecture construction kits

Horsfall, a recognized digital designer presently associated with the construction engineer as a Senior Design Visualizer having expertise in commercial exteriors and interiors, has developed some exclusive modular 3D printed architecture construction kits based on Legos which are useful forarchitectural design of buildings. The motive for creating these construction kits is to produce the virtual designs of certain building through broken modular parts which are amassed to make diverse design patterns.

The technology consists of a printable Architectural model making kit useful for Architects, Design enthusiasts, model makers as well as kids and students that can be applied to generate, print and convey real-world buildable models for effective building designs.

This kit is created with interlocking modular components that fit effortlessly to each other for making design configurations easily and efficiently. Every part is designed to print precisely devoid of requiring supports or rafts on any FDM FFF 3D Printer.

Horsfall has created two dissimilar themed designs accessible for anyone to download without any cost and 3D print easily.

They contain the Victorian Town House Kit having 15 different STL files for diverse modularconstruction pieces, and the more traditional Original Architecture Kit, which comprises of 11 separate STL files for Beams, Columns, Floor Slabs, Stairs, Roofs, Walls, and Interior Partitions.

More of these types of kits will be available in the near future involving blocks to be applied for fabricating skyscrapers, industrial sheds, and modular cityscapes. There will be also an enormous database of building blocks in 3Dprintable formats, symbolizing several architectural styles which will be accessible to schools, designers, architects, hobbyists, and model makers.

Size of assembled model in the rendered previews is:

W: 120mm
L: 240mm
H: 166mm


The largest piece is the Entrance stairs. The dimensions are:

W: 56mm
L: 98mm
H: 26mm
