The benefits of light steel modular construction are:
- Economy of scale by manufacture of multiple similar modular units.
- Speed of construction, which is up to 50% faster than traditional methods.
- High level of quality control through off-site manufacture.
- Minimum disturbance to the locality during construction.
- Detailed design work is carried out by the modular supplier.
- Suitable where site constraints may limit deliveries needed for other more traditional methods of building.
- Elimination of on-site waste; waste in the factory can be recycled more easily.
- Suitability for roof-top extensions in building renovation.
- Specialist equipment and services may be commissioned and tested in the factory, which is important in hospital projects.
- Modules may be moved in the future as demand changes.
