What are modular buildings and where are they used?
Modular buildings are a fairly promising type of building structure. They look like pre-fabricated structures that provide adequate comfort, which consist of block modules. The maximum height of such buildings is three floors, and they can be erected without foundations.
What are modular buildingsThe use of materials of various thicknesses with various degrees of thermal insulation makes them suitable for use in areas with any climatic conditions. Equipping with electric and low-current networks, as well as a set of plumbing equipment, allows them to be connected to the communication networks of the city. Thanks to such technical capabilities, the use of such objects is convenient and simple. Without large-scale costs and extensive construction work, modular buildings can be quickly erected, as well as dismantled and moved to another location, if necessary.
The possibilities of their application are quite wide. If earlier this method was used to build mainly rotational camps, today it is more and more often that administrative and amenity complexes, office buildings, shops, car services, cafes and hotels are being erected in this way.
Modern construction technologies make it possible to create whole complexes of modular buildings and structures. Based on their intended purpose, the interior layout and decoration are selected. The types of prefabricated modular buildings are also determined by their purpose. They can be used to equip:
administrative institutions;
schools, kindergartens, training centers;
canteens and cafes;
hotels, motels and hostels;
trade pavilions and markets;
security posts and checkpoints;
universal industrial premises.
Those of the listed buildings, which are intended for administrative and domestic needs, for the arrangement of shops, cafes and hotels, are often complemented by various decorative elements. As such, canopies, facade decorations, framing, roofs, etc. are used. This improves the appearance of the building, enriches the design solution of the exterior.
The use of modular prefabricated buildings makes it possible, if necessary, to easily dismantle them and carry out redevelopment, preserving the original structural elements.
