Modular buildings are sectional prefabricated buildings consisting of multiple sections or modules which are factory built. They are manufactured in a factory, which is at a remote place and later shipped to the intended building site. These modules are assembled into a single building with the help of a crane or a truck. The basic material used in constructing single units is steel; however, the buildings are also made up of concrete, bricks and mortar.
Modular building is the new trend building used in building construction. The construction of modular buildings is simpler than the construction of other conventional buildings as no foundation is required. In the construction of modular buildings, the builder first visits the site and supervises the plot where the building has to be erected. Then, with the help of expert architects, floor plans are drawn. The builder then fragments the plan into separate components and each component is constructed individually in the factory.
