History of Modular Buildings

It was the post second war housing boom that first saw the rise in the popularity of modular design. It was fuelled by the expanding need to construct a wide range of buildings from housing through to offices in the fastest, most efficient and most cost-effective manner. These days as the cost of commercial real estate continues to soar, so has the popularity of modular building. Prefabricated buildings offers many advantages over traditional building techniques which when combined make it the first choice for thousands of companies of all sizes and industry sectors. To start with Modular Structures is a far cheaper method of providing all manner of facilities. Modular design and manufacturing methods have come a long way in the last 60 years, and as a result cost have been reduced relative to traditional construction. The very fact that portable buildings can be uprooted and easily transported to another location has also added to their appeal, especially among organizations that move from site to site or have offices in multiple locations.
