Why choose modular buildings?

The Benefits of Modular, Prefabricated Buildings

For today’s businesses and facilities, traditional methods of construction are becoming obsolete. The need for flexibility, combined with speed, affordability and sustainability, renders conventional building strategies ineffective. No business or facility can afford to shut down crucial space while building work is undertaken – especially on a large-scale, as these projects are regularly victims of delays.

 

Due to the simplicity of modular building construction, and ease of access to floor plans, you have the ability to quickly and easily allow your workplace to evolve into the shape and size it needs to. Bespoke modular buildings can provide a complete range of advantages over their more traditional counterparts – most notably, faster turnaround and lower build costs.

 

Whether you require portable buildings, or a portable office, you can count on our experienced team to deliver your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modular Buildings - FAQs

What is Modular Building?

A modular building is a type of prefabricated building in which the modules are factory-built and transported to the construction site for assembly. A modular building is composed of building components that are manufactured off-site in a location like ours at Cotaplan, then transported to the construction site. Using this method reduces labour on-site and provides greater control over production quality. Modular buildings are more common in urban areas, but they can also be used in the suburbs and in rural areas, and are more cost-effective, easier to transport and can be built faster than site built buildings. Modular buildings can be assembled using cranes, forklifts and other construction equipment. At Cotaplan, all of our modular buildings are constructed to the highest standards, using sustainable materials and processes wherever possible. We offer a comprehensive range of services to help you plan, design, construct and maintain your modular building.

Modular building allows for construction to automatically continue in wet weather without any interruptions. Footing will go in as planned, foundations will be safely set, and the modular building will continue to be built with zero or minimal delay. This allows a lot of room for customisation, since the construction can take place at its own pace, the builder can move ahead of schedule or continue to meet the customer’s specific requirements.

In general, modular buildings are manufactured in a controlled environment, using high-quality insulation materials for the walls and roof. This means that the finished buildings are far more insulated than traditional site-built buildings. This alone can greatly reduce utility costs for the structure. At Cotaplan, our ISO:9001, 14001 and 4500 certified factory can produce prefabricated buildings to your specific thermal performance requirements.
