Why should we prefer modular structures?
Various factors such as increasing global climate issues, declining labor force dependent on manual work, rising elderly population, escalating housing needs, increasing human requirements due to technological advancements, and the pace of life, alongside higher quality standards and safety procedures, are prompting people to meet their housing needs through modular building solutions rather than traditional conventional constructions.
What are the differences between modular and reinforced concrete structures?
“Both types of structures are designed and delivered by competent engineering firms. Reinforced concrete structures are constructed on site by assembling concrete and reinforcement through laborers, whereas modular structures are created by assembling steel profiles, produced in a factory environment, in a manner suitable for serial production by teams within the factory. Structural requirements are met by both types according to regulatory standards. Modular structures can be completed on average in one-third of the time compared to traditional constructions. This time advantage not only reduces overall project costs for investors but also allows for earlier occupancy, selling, or renting opportunities. In comparison, modular structures present a much more economical solution with these advantages. Due to the assembly of various modules in most spaces, modular structures provide superior insulation with minimal conductivity. Additionally, modular structures offer the advantage of portability; they can be dismantled and reassembled in another location based on investment duration, regional needs, and future circumstances. Waste generation is also significantly lower. All workmanships in modular construction is completed in a factory setting by an experienced team, independent of environmental conditions, ensuring high quality. In contrast, all workmanships in reinforced concrete structures is dependent on site conditions and the capabilities of local workers. Since all assembly processes of modular structures are completed in a factory environment, the risk of accidents on the project site is minimized. Waste and emissions levels at construction sites are very low, reducing potential environmental damage (such as noise, dust, traffic, gases) to a minimum.
How are payment terms structured for modular construction?
After engineering studies and approval processes are completed for modular construction projects, the procurement of all materials to build the structure begins at the factory. Therefore, the upfront financing requirement is higher compared to reinforced concrete projects. A payment schedule is established based on project requirements and timeline, taking into account supply, production, preshipment, and post-shipment assembly processes. Despite the higher upfront financing requirement, due to completion times being one-third shorter than traditional constructions, investors can convert this investment into cash much faster.
I have a land and I want to build a modular structure on it. How can we proceed with the project?
We can create a budget through preliminary project studies with our architecture teams, taking into account all conditions of your plot and the local municipality. We can handle all preliminary processes such as municipal permit applications, coordination, and obtaining construction permits, as well as establishing all property rights within the notary and municipality. This includes formalizing the project and making it marketable or leasable to the public. Once the construction permit is obtained, we can proceed to complete all necessary architecture, engineering, production, logistics, and assembly processes to commission the structure. Throughout these processes, we can coordinate all necessary interactions as the investor representative in municipal inspections. Ultimately, if you have a land, together we can enhance its value!
Do you have a rental building service?
No, we do not offer rental building services. As Lead Modular, we address our customers’ structural needs on a project-by-project basis. Therefore, instead of offering standard products, we collaborate with our customers without limiting their requirements and produce custom-built structures based on their projects.
