Review Paper on Modular Construction in High Rise Buildings

The Advantages and Challenges of Modular Construction in High-rise Buildings

Abstract

Modular construction has been introduced since late 90‘s. During last 5 years this construction practice has slowly been familiarised in high storey structures in all over the world. The difficulties faced during construction makes modular construction more challenging in this era. There has been research that modular constructions reduces project design, time, cost and improve efficiency. Based on various case studies and thesis it concludes the design, engineering sustainability, a developer would like to consider in adopting modular method in high rise structure. This paper discusses the development of modern modular construction methods in order to provide the population with reasonable, comfortable and sustainable housing. The paper defines the predictions and significance of introducing modular prefabricated units into multi-storey buildings.
