Sustainable Construction Technology Based on Building Modules

Abstract:

The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the widely presented benefits of modular construction as compared with traditional construction method. A case study of family house construction by modular building method and traditional method is used to examine the structural, economic and time indicators of individual construction methods. The results are presented in tabular and graphical outputs and are compared each other in regard to different technological parts of the building. The paper provides the comparison of economic and time indicators resulting from budgets and time schedules of construction that are executed for different variants. Such comparison demonstrates exactly the benefits of modular construction. The building based on building modules consisted of steel bearing structure and enveloped by sandwich panels is adopted as the selected modular construction technology. The different variant, applied for comparison of modular and traditional construction, is represented by the building with comparable thermo-technical characteristics, constructed by traditional masonry method.
