What is Volumetric Modular Construction?

And is it suitable for my project?

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), Modular Construction, Off-site Construction are all various broad names for a general group of different types of construction which involves significant portions or all of the building being manufactured in a factory setting and joined together at site.
Volumetric modular construction is a branch of modular construction representing a higher level of sophistication via factory- made, six-sided units. This contrasts with panelisation, which produces two-dimensional components requiring more onsite assembly.
We at Castle Modular now provide high quality volumetric buildings to suit the Irish, UK and European markets.
Our in-house design team can develop a bespoke volumetric modular building that suits your projects requirements. Perfectly suited to residential, hospitality, healthcare and educational projects - Castle Modular is your one stop shop for quality.

The benefits of Volumetric Modular Buildings compared , to traditional buildings include:

Programme

40 to 50% saving in time on site, virtually no time lost due to inclement weather.

Safety

The factory controlled manufacturing environment has reduced open work fronts, much less working at height issues and much tighter control on all traditional construction risks.

Quality

The level of cleanliness, repetition and control of each manufacturing hold point allows for a zero snag product.

Environment

There are significant reductions in fuel usage, waste, carbon footprint, etc. associated with this method of construction.
