Moduulirakentamisen

Moduulirakentaminen, also known as modular construction, is a building method where prefabricated sections, or modules, are manufactured in a factory setting and then transported to the construction site for assembly. These modules are typically complete rooms or sections of rooms, including finished walls, floors, ceilings, and sometimes even interior fixtures. The factory environment allows for precise quality control, efficient use of materials, and protection from weather, which can lead to faster construction times and reduced waste compared to traditional building methods.

The process begins with the design and engineering of the building, followed by the fabrication of modules in a controlled factory environment. Once completed, the modules are transported to the site, where they are lifted into place by cranes and connected to form the final structure. This method is suitable for a wide range of building types, including residential homes, apartments, schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings. Moduulirakentaminen offers advantages such as reduced on-site disruption, predictable costs, and improved sustainability due to optimized material usage and energy efficiency in manufacturing.

The modules are designed to be structurally sound and integrate seamlessly with each other to create a complete and functional building. This approach can significantly shorten project timelines as much of the construction work occurs simultaneously in the factory while site preparation is underway. It also allows for greater flexibility in design and the possibility of future expansion or reconfiguration of the building by adding or rearranging modules.
