Disadvantages
Whilst there are many advantages to all forms of modular buildings, there can be limitations also.
- Volumetric: Transporting the completed modular building sections take up a lot of space. This is balanced with the speed of construction once arrived on site.
- Flexibility: Due to transport and sometimes manufacturing restrictions, module size can be limited, affecting room sizes. Panelised forms and flat pack versions can provide easier shipment, and most manufacturers have flexibility in their processes to cope with the majority of size requirements.
