Off-site construction - modern method of construction


Off-site construction - modern method of construction Off-site construction is a modern method of construction, based on off-site manufacturing of building elements. This method is widely used for housing and in the education sector offering economical, environmental and social advantages.

Modular construction involves the manufacture and fitout of steel framed building modules within a factory controlled environment, whilst ground works and foundations are prepared on site. The modular units are then delivered to site and craned into position to form the building. These simultaneous activities automatically compress the program and thus the project is delivered in less than half the time of a traditionally constructed facility.

We have taken modular building systems a step further and used volumetric construction techniques to provide complex, M&E intensive healthcare facilities, such as modular operating theatres, diagnostic imaging suites and laboratories.

				The off-site construction system adopted by ModuleCo uses pre-engineered modular units that are transported from the factory and installed on site as fitted-out and serviced building blocks. The units are installed together to form a complete healthcare building, such as a day surgery centre, a diagnostic and treatment centre or a hospital.
