Cost-efficient construction: The modular alternative
It is certainly known that Belgium is a traditional country in construction that strongly adheres to the “old” way of working. However, given the rapidly changing world and the ongoing evolution, it is crucial to keep up with the times. Those who oppose change risk falling behind. It is high time to review and improve our approach to stay competitive.
Modular construction offers an alternative that is faster, more cost-efficient, consistent in quality and more accessible than the traditional construction methods that Belgium is limited to. This innovative approach not only brings cost savings, but also gives a new dynamism to the economy of construction projects. It is essential to embrace and take advantage of this opportunity to stay ahead in the ever-changing construction sector.
Let's look in more detail at some concrete benefits:
Economies of scale
Scalability contributes to cost efficiency through time savings, parallel production and consistency in measures during design and quality controls. It optimizes the use of resources, reduces costs and promotes the overall success of projects.
Predictable budgets
Reliability is crucial when preparing financial plans. This level of predictability is often absent from traditional building techniques. The controlled off-site production and seamless on-site installation of modular construction, on the other hand, provide a solid basis for a financial plan that is reliable and free from unexpected surprises.
Controlled production
Within a factory environment where modular construction takes place, the controlled environment guarantees careful quality control. Standard processes and inspections significantly reduce errors, resulting in less need for costly repairs, in terms of both time and money.
Consistent deliveries
While designing modules in the factory, the on-site installation can take place independently, without being influenced by unpredictable external factors such as weather conditions or inefficient use of resources. This contributes to a consistent and faster completion of modular construction projects.
Accessible work
The modular nature of the product makes it easy for almost anyone to quickly learn how to assemble without the need for special skills, both in production and installation. Individuals can effortlessly integrate into the workflow without the need for extensive training or prior knowledge.
Smart material management
The use of modular construction gets rid of past waste. Thanks to precise measurements and thoughtful planning, material waste is greatly reduced, resulting in significantly lower total costs due to reduced material costs.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The circular nature of modular construction goes beyond the present; this method guarantees long-term cost benefits through adaptability and reusability. This contributes to a sustainable approach to construction in the long term.
Finally, it should be noted that standardization of the construction process through modular construction not only leads to cost savings and time savings, but also guarantees continuous quality, consistent delivery times, measurable production processes, uniform working methods, repeatability, and a minimal error rate.
At Bao Living, we break conventional practices by integrating indoor techniques into residential units in a circular and modular way. This includes not only the technical aspects, but also the associated infrastructure such as ventilation, heating, plumbing, lighting, electricity, bathrooms and kitchens.
