The construction timeline for a modular building is notably shorter compared to traditional construction methods, thanks to the efficiency gained from Delkii’s innovative construction system comprising of SIPs Panels and base structure. The duration can vary based on factors such as the size, complexity, and customisation requirements of the modular structure.
In general, the process of constructing a modular building involves several key phases. The initial design and engineering phase, where specifications are detailed and buildings are designed. Once the design is finalised, the manufacturing of the modular components begins concurrently with on-site preparations.
The actual on-site assembly of modular buildings is impressively swift. On-site assembly can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the structure. A building can be watertight in a matter of days allowing other areas of the build to get started far quicker than using traditional building methods. As a result, the project completion time is far quicker and all other trades can be on sight sooner, completing their areas of work quicker. In turn, the time savings per building are significantly lower in comparison to other methods.
In total, the entire construction timeline for a modular building, from design to completion, typically ranges from a few months to a year. This stands in stark contrast to the extended timelines often associated with traditional construction methods, where on-site work is more susceptible to weather conditions, labour shortages, supply chain delays and other unpredictable factors.
The speed of modular construction not only reduces labour costs but also allows for quicker occupancy, providing a distinct advantage for projects with tight deadlines or those seeking a rapid return on investment. It’s important to note that while the construction process is accelerated, the quality and durability of modular buildings remain on par with, if not surpassing, traditional construction standards.
