ABSTRACT
Modular construction has established itself in many sectors of the building industry over the last 15 years. Historically, the main use of modular construction was in portable or temporary buildings, but this prefabricated construction technology using volumetric units is now used in a wide range of building types, from schools, hospitals, offices, and supermarkets to high-rise residential buildings. This demand has been driven by the off-site nature of the construction process, which leads to quantifiable economic and sustainability benefits.
