The beauty of the finished building is that occupants will not be able to tell how the structure was built. The final construction stage includes completing mateline finishes, exterior systems such as cladding and roofing components and internal spaces like lobbies, stairwells, elevator shafts and anything else that is unable to be completed in the factory. Once the modules have been built, they are shipped to the site and fastened together. Examples of permanent modular construction include healthcare facilities, hotels, schools, and K-12 education facilities.
Therefore, occupants planning for a long-term stay at one fixed location are best suited for permanent modular construction. As the name suggests, this construction is a permanent structure and typically will not be re-located as per the owner’s need. The modules are 60% - 90% completed in a controlled plant environment and then delivered on site. The modular construction process includes offsite construction of modules or building units that are delivered to a single/fixed location.
