Demystifying Modular Construction

Demystifying Modular ConstructionWith affordability and rising construction costs an increasingly pressing issue, new and innovative methods of construction are being explored. The method that has many talking is that of modular construction.At a Property Council of Australia member briefing, John Zendler and Chris Dunnett from CIMC Modular Building Systems set about debunking the myths that have grown around this method of construction.These myths included that modular is more expensive, it won’t meet the building codes, consumers won’t buy it and that you can’t get funding for a modular development.They made clear that the key to making the most of this new construction method is to contact the modular builder early in the development process and not once designs have been completed and approved.Click on the document below to see the slides from this fascinating presentation. There is no doubt that we are seeing the rise of modular.
