Prefabricated Modular Construction / Traditional Construction

Did you know that in addition to the most popular traditional construction system – in masonry – there are other construction systems with contemporary processes, based on the use of alternative, sustainable, efficient and cost-effective materials?

The CircularBuild project team presents you the most significant differences between the Traditional Construction system and the Prefabricated Modular Construction system, from which the CircularBuild solution aims to reinforce innovation in the field of sustainability, through energy efficiency and the reuse of secondary materials.

Difference no. 1
Constructive Model

In Modular Prefabricated Construction, the modules are prefabricated under controlled industrial conditions, and then transported to the construction site, where the building will be assembled.

In Traditional Construction, the entire building is executed, structured and produced on the ground.

Difference no. 2
Adaptation

In Modular Prefabricated Construction, there is the possibility of adding or removing modules quickly and simply, without major changes in the structure of the building.

In Traditional Construction, remodeling works take a longer amount of time, with the possibility of changing the structure of the building.

Difference no. 3
Time

In Modular Prefabricated Construction, there is a greater speed in the construction process, since some of the steps will be carried out entirely in the factory, and there may be steps to be carried out simultaneously. This possibility avoids deadline postponements.

In Traditional Construction, it takes several months to complete the project, as the construction stages take place at the construction site.

Difference no. 4
Weather Exposure

In Modular Prefabricated Construction, the production of prefabricated modules takes place off-site, that is, outside the place where the building will be built. This avoids exposing employees to adverse weather conditions.

In Traditional Construction, some stages of the construction work plan may be dependent on weather conditions, and may even delay and expose employees to adverse situations arising from the weather.

Difference no. 5
Security

In Modular Prefabricated Construction, the steps carried out inside the factory facilities provide greater safety and better working conditions for employees, reducing the risk of accidents.

In Traditional Construction, the risk of work accidents on the job site is high, as well as the greater amount of dust, noise and waste to which employees are exposed. Despite the use of PPE, this exposure may have adverse effects.

Difference no. 6
Impact on the Environment Surrounding the Buildding

In Prefabricated Modular Construction, most of the construction steps, except for the assembly of the modules on the ground, are carried out in factory units, which reduces vehicle traffic on the job site, as well as noise pollution, particles in suspension and accumulated construction waste.

In Traditional Construction, the intense traffic, noise and waste deposited in the place where the construction of the building takes place cause disturbances in the neighboring environment, which can generate discomfort and complaints from the surrounding population.
