Modulek Buildings
Modulek’s buildings are state of the art permanent modular buildings, that are an unique hybrid where traditional quality merges with the speed and cost-effectiveness of modular construction. Each and every single building is fully customisable, incorporating the latest cutting-edge energy-saving features. Having built over 120 buildings, it is fair to say that we are the experts when it comes to buildings for schools, sports and leisure, and commercial facilities.
Emergence Of Modular Buildings
- 1851 – Crystal Palace – used light and cheap materials – iron, wood, glass. Short construction period with prefabricated components being assembled on-site.
- 1900s – Sears Roebuck Company sold prefabricated houses that were delivered to customers as mail order homes
- WW2 – Prefab was used for mass accommodation for military personal, using all-purpose, lightweight buildings – these could be shipped anywhere.
- Following WW2, prefab was used for developing hotels, hospitals, offices, schools and housing, with the techniques continuing to grow and develop throughout the 1970s-200s as demand exceeded the supply of existing structures.
- Modular has continued to revolutionise the construction industry, with significant advances in developing processes and materials, resulting in more sophisticated and complex buildings.
- Modular has seen an increase in popularity due to being recognised as a resource-efficient, sustainable and fast track construction method.
