dc.description.abstract | Modular construction focuses on making prefabricated modules and elements with
preinstalled services in order to reduce the construction time, whilst also maintaining the
structural performance and safety of the building. Though this have not been used much
in Norway, it can be observed from other countries that this method has many advantages
and disadvantages. To name a few, the construction time is faster, the cost can be reduced,
inventory spacing can be managed more easily, labour cost can be reduced, labour safety
can be improved, while still satisfying the structural requirements for the job. Furthermore,
modular construction may be a more affordable solution to the housing crises in
underdeveloped countries and a solution for cheaper student housing. This paper focuses
on comparing the structural performance, cost, advantages, disadvantages, limitations and
serviceability between traditional cast-in-place concrete elements, precast elements and
prefabricate modules. | |
