Harnessing modular for efficient and sustainable construction

Volumetric modular construction (VMC) is steadily revolutionising construction, delivering high quality with vastly reduced on-site construction time and wastage. Mohsin Cooper understand the benefits of VMC and how to bring these to bear on a project. We partner with Boutique Modern who have been manufacturing modular homes and buildings on the South Coast for over 12 years

Speed and Effciency

Volumetric modular construction utilizes offsite manufacturing, where modules are built concurrently with on-site preparation. This parallel process significantly reduces construction time compared to traditional methods, allowing for faster project completion and earlier occupancy whether a volume housing scheme or one-off dwelling.

Sustainability

Offsite manufacture of modules allows for careful management of materials and resources leading to vastly reduced wastage and allowing low-carbon benchmarks to be met

Design Freedom

Modular construction does not inhibit architectural design. Modules can be combined in numerous configurations and accommodate Façade elements such as bays and canopies in the same way that traditional construction can. Most traditional facing materials can be used to finish modular buildings and the visual difference between traditional and VMC is generally minimal.

Quality

Modules are constructed in a controlled factory environment, adhering to strict quality control standards. The standardised production process ensures consistent quality, minimising variations and defects often associated with on-site construction.

Recognised & Approved

Boutique Modern manufacture under BOPAS accreditation and area B-Corp. Their build system is accepted by LABC, Checkmate and Build Zone unlocking a large number of high-street mortgage lenders and development finance options.
