Fast-track construction of modular healthcare buildings


Fast-track construction of modular buildings

Speed of construction is an important factor within the healthcare, educational and custodial sectors. More and more healthcare facilities are required to be operational quickly in order to ease the pressure on service providers. Compared to traditional methods, ModuleCo's fast-track construction approach can save up to 60% of the time required to provide a new modular building. This leads to an earlier start of service provision and an earlier return on investment. A shorter construction time is achieved because: Enabling works and foundations are prepared simultaneously with off-site manufacturing and fit-out of building sections The main construction takes place in a factory environment, eliminating weather disruptions and lowering the risk of over-runs and delays Construction processes are standardised and simplified due to the repetition in the design of building modules Greater quality control reduces the time spent on corrections and call-backs A short off-site construction programme means less construction activities on site, fewer deliveries and less on-site labour. All this leads to less disruption to the operation of the existing hospital, school or prison.

Furthermore, fast-track construction can help reduce the build time during traditional hospital development schemes. This is achieved by outsourcing the construction of complex clinical areas, such as operating theatres, to be built off site, whilst the main superstructure is being erected on site.
