Introduction
The report focuses on application of modular construction so that potential issues and challenges
for a sustainable growth. The purpose of this study is to implement wide concept of modular
construction to reduce adverse effect of potential issues and challenges positively. The report
sheds light on a range of points, which have been listed below:
 Application of modular construction
 Benefits of case studies in understanding modular construction
 Importance of contractors in the modular construction sector
 Flexibility of project
Modular construction
Modular construction can be defined as a process of building is constructed off-site under
controlled plat conditions with the help of same materials, standards and code of design. It is one
of the effective and reliable ways to build the construction site on time and under construction
site. It enhances the flexibility and reliability of the construction site by considering all the
potential risks related to construction site.
 Cost effective
 Fast
 Efficient construction
Advantage of modular construction
There are several benefits of modular construction that eventually enhanced its demand in the
UK. One of the major benefits of this construction site is durability that implies that materials are
used in more effective and efficient way. It includes concrete, wood and steel that helps in
completion the project within strict deadline. There are several benefits of modular construction,
which have been listed below:
 Speed of build
 Off- Site construction
 Bespoke option

Advantage of modular construction Disadvantage of modular construction
High Quality Construction Restricted flexibility
Cost-effective Difficulty handling and transporting modules
Eco-friendly materials Perception problem mostly occurred from
historic performance
Minimal impact on your business The supply of modular buildings includes
installation, delivery and manufacture.
Advantage of wood modular construction Advantage of concrete and steel modular
construction
Improved insulation Sustainability
Stronger Buildings Fire resistance
Sustainability Structural
Better health condition Flexibility
Wood Modular construction
Wood modular construction has a leading role in enhancing the flexibility under limited budget
and time. Wood is superior as compared to steel that facilitates in controlling energy loss than
other building materials. With the passage of time wood gets dries and get stronger by providing
a structural sound for modular building. The sustainability of research can be determined
through effectiveness of reliability of product that is wood with the passage of time wood
become strong that increased the feasibility of building positively.
Concrete and steel modular construction
Structural steel contains about 80% of recycled material that eventually improves the flexibility
and efficiency of construction site. Steel modular construction is comparatively high and
improved the flexibility of building by considering the safety of respective associate employees.
There are several challenges in concrete modular construction that embraces some inherent risks
such as commercial risks, technical risks and environmental risks.
