Modular Buildings

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.

Our modular buildings will be delivered directly to your site on either an articulated or rigid HGV. On arrival at site your modular building will be offloaded by crane or HIAB. To ensure we have all bases covered such as access to site we will undertake a full and comprehensive site survey prior to the delivery and installation of your modular building by our specialist team.

The life expectancy of any modular building like any construction is typically dependent on how well they are maintained and looked after. By carrying out regular maintenance and ensuring any issues are dealt with immediately modular buildings can last in excess of 30 years. In any modular building the flat roof will take most of the impact from severe weather conditions, meaning it is imperative that you regularly clear the gutters of debris and inspect the roofing membrane. Like all flat roofs, this membrane will deteriorate over time. Cotaplan provides a variety of guarantees and warranties for the different building components.
