Market Definition

Modular construction is a process in which a building is constructed off-site. The building is constructed under controlled plant conditions using the same design and materials to the same codes and standards as usually built facilities but in around half the time. Buildings are manufactured in "modules" that, when put together on site, and specifications of the most sophisticated site-built facility reflect identical design intent without compromise. The factory-controlled process generates less waste, creates fewer site disturbances, and allows for tighter construction. Moreover, the construction of modular buildings occurs simultaneously with site work, allowing projects to be completed in half the time of traditional construction. Modular buildings are built with the same materials and to the same building codes and architectural specifications as traditional construction. Once assembled, they are virtually indistinguishable from their site-built counterparts.

Asia-Pacific Modular Construction Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Ease of disassembling, refurbishment, and relocation of modular constructions

Modular construction is a process that involves constructing prefabricated buildings in off-site factories and transporting them to a worksite for installation. With modular construction, there is an opportunity to include a "plug and play" flexibility that allows molecular buildings to be easily modified for different purposes. Ease of disassembling helps to deconstruct into parts and can be reconstructed or redistributed to incorporate into various other projects.

• Increase in per capita income and easy availability of finances and loans

Modular construction provides a solution to this shortage by enabling more automation. New technologies such as artificial intelligence can help to increase off-site prefabrication—modular construction cuts cost by 20 to 30 percent. Modular construction will help to meet the demands for affordable housing.

• Growing emphasis on sustainability, quality, and workers' safety

Modular construction uses precise measurement and management through which multiple modules are created so discarded materials can be reused for other projects. This effectively helps in minimizing the generation of waste. The amount of waste generated by traditional construction has always challenged the environment compared to modular construction. Modular construction generates less waste and is also easy to dispose of.

Opportunities

• Renewed focus on upgrading healthcare infrastructure

The healthcare sector is seeking ways to speed up construction and cut expenses while maintaining a high-quality medical building when it comes to building projects. More than ever, owners of hospitals and other healthcare facilities are turning to modular construction for their expansion needs

• Increased support from government rules and policies

Modular construction is one eco-conscious manufacturing technique that has recently gained popularity. There is a need for sustainable solutions and an understanding of the impact that construction alone can have on the environment.

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of awareness regarding modular construction

One major challenge faced by modular construction is the lack of awareness among people for these prefabricated spaces. Many people have misconceptions about it, suggesting that modular buildings are temporary structures that are cheap and of limited use. One of the biggest criticism of modular construction is that modularization lacks freedom in designing and looks unattractive.

• Lack of reliability on modular construction in earthquake-prone regions

Modular construction is a revolutionary new method used to build homes and businesses. Modular homes can be found in the earthquake and seismic zones, but the precision assembly of modular houses is imperative. As assembling failure can lead to joint issues, leakages, or void spaces. Earthquake-resistant construction is the fabrication of a building or structure that can withstand sudden shock or shake by minimizing structural damage, human deaths, and injuries.

Recent Development

• In October 2022, The Australian Financial Review, a leading national business, and finance newspaper, recognized Laing O'Rourke on its annual innovation list. Laing O'Rourke was the only tier-one constructor to make the Financial Review BOSS Most Innovative Companies List, coming in at number seven amongst peers in the property, construction, and transport sectors
