Modular construction is now in its fifth decade. In its formative years, the reality was that modular construction was nothing more than two poorly constructed boxes nailed together. It was often confused with mobile homes to which wheels are permanently affixed. However, Haven’s technology has unleashed the design constraints of the past and today Haven can reproduce any architectural design required by today’s astute customer.
Frustrations with contractors, bad weather, scheduling delays, supplier problems, work stoppages; we've heard it all. These are just some of the reasons why many people have turned to modular construction. Modular construction offers numerous advantages over what has typically been defined as "conventional" or site-built construction methods.
There is no other method available that allows you to start and finish a project in a more-timely manner than modular. Building construction and site work proceed simultaneously, allowing projects to be completed in a much shorter time-span, without sacrificing safety or quality.
Modular offers the advantage for you to design your facility from top to bottom, while allowing for the possibility of future expansion and relocation. Innovations in technology and transportation allow for materials such as concrete, steel, and bricks to be utilized in factory built facilities.
Additionally, the bulk of the building construction occurs at the builder's location, not yours, reducing many safety and scheduling concerns, and minimizing disturbances at your place of business.
And yes, in many cases, modular construction saves you money. In addition to timelier completion, leasing arrangements and significantly accelerated depreciation schedules can make modular facilities an extremely economical alternative.
Less than 5% of the markets previously defined as "conventional" currently utilize modular construction concepts. Given these numerous advantages, it's only a matter of time before modular becomes the convention method.
