Sustainability
1. Modular buildings are manufactured in controlled environments
The factory-controlled process ensures less waste is generated as waste is
almost eliminated by recycling materials, controlling inventory and protecting
building materials. Offsite construction is up to 50% quicker than traditional. It
also results in less site disturbances as it minimize transport of raw materials
delivered on daily basis as of site requirements to fewer bulk deliveries to a
factory, which directly benefit of reducing the carbon footprint of the
construction and also results in reducing noise, dust, etc. Minimized
transport and traffic at site means fewer personnel on site;
Sustainability
Over the past decade, modular construction has grown substantially.
Attitudinal changes towards offsite building techniques, as well as their
increased sustainability and capabilities as seen on many high-profile jobs,
have all contributed to this growth. Here are few reasons of how sustainable
Modular building became.

Modcon Building.
Fields of
Applications
It is no surprise that many developers are now choosing modular construction
technologies over more standard building practices. The increased availability of
control, such as avoiding environmental hazards, more customizable dimension, and
optimal building methods, in addition to significant costs savings, make modular
construction well worth considering for any building project.

Our 5-year warranty cover the
external fabric of the building, which
includes the steel structure it-self, the
floors, wall and roof panels, as well as
the external windows and doors. In
short, it covers any part of the
external fabric that contributes to the
building’s function as structurally
sound, insulated unity.

Processes
The fabrication of the module begins with a welded steel frame loaded onto
the assembly line. The base floors, walls and ceilings are then fabricated on the
frame and the electrical and plumbing services are added. The module is then

insulated with the main floors and walls. Then the interior finishing, including
Off-site manufacturing painting and flooring, is completed while the windows and doors are attached.
The module is prepared for transportation after the exterior finish is
completed. (this work is done parallel to the on-site construction)
While the modules for the building are fabricated in the offsite factory, the site
13. is developed for the installation of modules. Firstly, the site is surveyed for
On-site construction contours of the land. Secondly, the land is excavated and graded to a level for
the foundation. Then the drainage for the site is laid down and finally the
foundation on which the modules are to be installed is constructed.
