Facts About Modular Church Buildings

By Ruth Hughes


Modular buildings are the kind of buildings or structures that are manufactured in a factory setting before being transported for installation in the designated place of use. All activities that relate to the process of production are carried out in a controlled environment within a factory setting. As such, there are very many advantages that are associated with this kind of production.

Modular houses had numerous drawbacks when they were first introduced. This made the public to have a negative attitude towards them. Absence of varied designs, weakness in the structure, poor quality, absence of producers, and high cost were part of the drawbacks. With the improvement of technology over time, modular houses have increasingly become popular. Compared to conventional housing, modular church buildings are similar or even better in terms of quality.

The various benefits linked to modular housing are discussed below. The first benefit is that it takes a shorter time to construct these structures. A period of less than two months can be taken to construct small modular houses from the foundation to the roof. Factors like automation, greater repeatability, and greater teamwork are the ones that help to shorten the construction time.

A day or so can be taken to transport the structure for installation depending on the locality of the site. It can be a matter of days for installation of the structure to be completed. Therefore, everything is done precisely and at a faster rate. Trucks with the ability to carry heavy and wide loads are used for transportation. In order to avoid road accidents, modules are transported separately.

Lack of design was a major problem with initial modular structures. It was hard to incorporate certain designs given the nature of prefabricated homes. However, that has changed and today almost any design can be built into a prefabricated house. Improvements in technology are in huge part responsible for this improvement. Also, it is possible to produce as many modules a necessary to incorporate into a single building.

With this, the owner of a property can expand the size of their building to any size they need. Being more durable and having ability to withstand damage resulting from storms and natural phenomena are properties designed into modern modules. Compared to conventional buildings, the prefabricated structures are more durable. This is one of the factors that attract people to these structures.

The acoustics integrated into modular structures is much better in comparison to that of traditional homes. The walls and ceilings of conventional houses can easily allow sound to pass into the interior space. For this reason, floating floors are installed so as to suppress the noise. Every unit stands alone in modular construction which helps prevent noise transfer.

In the event that two modules get in contact with each other, protection is installed between them. This is meant to prevent transfer of noise. One can also attend to the damage in one unit independently without causing effect on other modules. With that, maintenance and insurance expenses are very low. Improvements in this industry have made securing of funding much easier these days.
