In the minds of most people, modular construction methods are associated with small-scale projects and/or temporary structures, yet the modern reality is quite different...

Construction based on prefabricated modules has proven to be effective even for large structures that rise floors above the ground. It is increasingly being accepted as a legitimate alternative to traditional building techniques. Due to low prices and the speed of building, projects of this kind are gaining traction everywhere in the world. 

Application of the modular process on a grand scale can be taken in several different directions. Here is an overview of the main lines of development:

Multi-story buildings
Modern architecture has already embraced modular methods and the early returns are truly impressive. Some of the buildings produced with this approach look very luxurious and feature a range of features, from fully functional toilets to HVAC systems and security equipment.  Most people wouldn’t even be able to tell how the building has been constructed, while the occupants claim the level of comfort is outstanding. One obvious advantage of modular construction is the price, since savings go up in step with size.

State-of-the-art office space
Forward thinking companies are quickly realising how much they can gain by switching to modular when constructing their new office buildings. Entrepreneurs are able to customise their business space to their preference almost without limitation, often using the savings achieved on basic construction to implement technological improvements they wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise. Modular offices were once synonymous with small, cash-strapped companies, but now high-end developments are becoming increasingly popular.
