It is Versatile
One of the main advantages offered by modular architecture is its versatility, meaning the use of prefabricated modules allows for action in both long-term projects and temporary solutions. This is because there are almost no impediments, carrying out remodeling, expansion, or restructuring tasks in any type of building.
Cost Savings
When we talk about traditional architecture, we have a very rigid idea of the term, which has led the sector to explore different alternatives. The use of modules allows for saving execution times, and therefore, costs. If in traditional construction the square meter is around 1300 euros, in modular architecture it would be close to 1000 euros. This is due to the standardization of production and processes, offering significant economic savings.
Speed
When talking about prefabricated modules, execution times are reduced, since the construction process occurs in parallel with what would be the assembly. This allows the architect to better adapt to the initial deadlines and budgets. In many cases, the saving represents 50% compared to traditional construction.
Lower Environmental Impact
When we talk about modular architecture, we also talk about the environment, and when building with modules, there is the possibility of using sustainable materials. Also, during assembly, it is much easier to add alternative energy systems, water recycling systems, etc., which allows for reducing pollution and environmental impact. Another advantage is that each module can be strategically oriented and placed according to the local climate, meaning it facilitates adaptation to the environment where we are going to build.
Properties of Modules
As we have seen, modular architecture consists of the use and design of systems composed of equal and separate construction elements, i.e., modules. The interconnection of these allows for composing a quality architectural structure. The modules are replaceable and easily producible, their assembly simple and fast. We are facing a new paradigm in terms of construction, as a couple of days is enough to build a home and what’s better, for a very economical price.
