Modular houses

Modular houses are buildings constructed from ready-made modules that are manufactured at the factory and delivered to the construction site for assembly. Modular houses can be of various sizes and configurations, which allows you to create unique projects.
Pros and cons of modular houses



Modular houses have a number of advantages over traditional houses built on site. These include:

  • Speed of construction: modular houses can be built in a few weeks, while the construction of a traditional house can take several months or even years.
  • Affordable cost: Modular homes are generally cheaper than traditional homes because they are manufactured in a factory using standardized components.
  • Eco-friendliness: modular houses are generally more environmentally friendly than traditional houses, since recycled materials and more efficient construction technologies are used for their manufacture.
  • In addition, modular houses have a number of other advantages, such as:
  • Transportability: Modular houses can be transported anywhere in the world, which makes them an ideal solution for remote areas or for building houses on a site where it is impossible or impractical to carry out earthworks.
  • Extensibility: Modular homes are easy to expand by adding additional modules as needed.
  • High reliability: Modular houses have high reliability and resistance to natural disasters.


However, modular homes also have some disadvantages, such as:

  • Limited design capabilities: Modular homes tend to have limited design capabilities because they are made of standardized modules.
