Terms such as “off-site construction,” “prefabrication,” and
“modular construction” are used interchangeably.
These terms cover a range of different approaches and systems,
from single elements that are clipped together using standard
connections and interfaces to 3-D volumetric units with full
fixtures.
The practice of prefabricating building elements was first adopted in the United
States in the past century. Post World War II, there a need for affordable quality
housing which led to a boost in "kit-of-parts buildings". Nowadays, innovative digital
tools are making prefabrication much easier.

Panelized construction
(Non-Volumetric Construction)
• Panelized is a construction method where the structural
components of a building, such as walls, roofs and floor
systems are constructed offsite in a factory and delivered to
the job site to be incorporated into the building, and finished
conventionally on-site.
• Generally the panels are structural, and have very little
infrastructure or other components built into them.
• The panels are generally “bare” meaning that they will include
the structural members pre-built so that a wall or floor can
come off a truck and be placed into the building.

Panelized construction
(Non-Volumetric Construction)
• Once in place, these Panels need to be connected or fastened
to other structural components in the field, and generally
finished in a conventional way.
• Wall finishes, plumbing fixtures, electric and other
infrastructure are usually not pre-installed, and need to be
installed, connected and finished in the field.
• Panelized buildings therefore require a considerable amount
of on-site work, but less work than if it were all stick-built in
the field. This system works best for buildings that require
wide open spaces and high ceilings

Modularized construction
(Volumetric Construction)
• Modularization is a construction method where an entire unit of
a building is constructed off-site, rather than smaller, structural
components as with panelization.
• Modular buildings are very versatile and can be designed
and built to serve virtually any function. They are particularly
well suited, though, for buildings such as hotels, apartments,
student housing, and any other types that typically consist of
many repetitive units serving similar functions.

Modularized construction
(Volumetric Construction)
• Modular units require the least amount of on-site construction
time, as all plumbing, electrical, and even design finishes have
typically already been installed in the facility. This leaves only the
task of assembling the modular units together to form a
completed building.

Concrete Systems
For the sake of increased durability and improved aesthetics, you
must consider the infusion of precast concrete panels to your
prefabricated building. Cast in the factory, these concrete
components add solidity to your structure as concrete is heavier
than most materials commonly used for construction.
Furthermore, you can save money if you decide to opt for
concrete systems.

Modular Systems
How does a modular building company achieve the perfect
creation of a factory-constructed module? By implementing all
of the prefabrication methods, of course! All the necessary
components are first brought to the construction site, where
they are slowly connected and securely laid out, and deeply
rooted in the foundation that has been prepared to support the
structure. And, the result is a brand, new modular building.
to us.
