I agree that modular construction seems to be catching on for the reasons cited in the article. I am not sure it is catching on at the rate some say it is though. Another construction sector gaining significant steam is the metal building industry. Very efficient and holds up well in all sorts of weather. It has made huge strides in aesthetics too.

I can see the obvious benefits of modular construction techniques, reduced cost and quicker installation. The thing is, the construction industry is affected by the business cycle AND geopolitical and environmental issues, especially catastrophic events. We don’t have so many modular residential buildings in the UK they’re mainly on the commercial and industrial scale so I’m not well placed to offer an opinion on their performance under extreme weather conditions. I would be interested to know how modular buildings stacked up against more traditionally constructed buildings in the recent storms that battered New York in the US. I suspect not so good but as I alluded to earlier, I’m not well placed to offer an opinion. And then there are other considerations. The fact is a building that performs badly in extreme weather conditions is good for the construction industry when you get a spat of the windy wet stuff. It gives us all more work to do. Being in the roofing industry, at Warm Roof we know all too well that bad weather is good for us and by extension, the wider economy. So like most things, it gives with the right hand and takes back again with the left. Comment posted by Steve Bound, General Manager at http://www.warmroof.info
