How Modular Commercial Construction is Changing Luxury

Modular construction began eons ago with the idea of prefabrication, but has recently taken a remarkable technological turn that just may change the face of today’s luxury-grade multi-family housing. The idea of modular commercial construction is simple – large or small pieces of a whole building are built off-site and then transported on-site for installation that is faster and easier than on-site construction. Yesteryear’s prefab tech can be found in the manufactured home industry. This technique made it possible for a family to own a stand-alone house at a much lower price-point than the typical single-family home. However, many have come to associate modular construction with “cheap” due to the association with manufactured homes. However, since the 1950s, when this form of construction really gained traction, modular construction has grown, morphed and blossomed into a construction genre that produces eco-friendly, budget-friendly, convenient and well-built modules on which the foundation of new luxury will be built.

How are construction modules different from prefabricated homes?

Modules stand apart in nearly every way. Those who lead the modular construction industry build to the same high standard as a building built the traditional way, onsite. Modules are built to code and the architect’s vision is unhampered. Basically, the quality of the build remains as high as it does in a typical construction project while an increase in other benefits is enjoyed.

What are its benefits?

Modular construction done properly is faster, greener and much more flexible. The environmental benefits begin with the heightened ability the manufacturer has to control the building process inside its own factory and with plenty of materials on-hand. The most obvious benefit of modular construction is its speed. Modules are delivered to the construction site complete and ready to be incorporated into the building at a fraction of the usual time. The least obvious benefit is the one with a direct link to luxury – because a modular build is created by a specialized factory, the arena is bursting with innovation. Modular plumbing is allowing multi-family housing developments to offer apartment and condo dwellers state-of-the-art amenities including; outdoor showers by the pool, clubhouse extras like pot fillers and wet bars, car washing garage bays, workout room water bottle fillers, and dog-washing stations.

Modular plumbing = instant luxury

Imagine a pre-built dog spa ready for the 50th floor of a luxury high-rise condo building. In it is contained a multi-chambered dog wash station with three high-arc commercial faucets sporting swivel spouts and gentle, yet powerful, sprayers. Steel shelves above house high-end dog shampoos and detanglers. To the side of the sinks is a towel warmer, ready to instantly dispense cozy towels for post-shake drying. Beyond that, pampered pets and their family members will find a tall and small fresh water dispenser duo, one for water bottles and one for bowls. Two rows of “candy jars” bear human and dog treats next to a comfortable, yet stylish, low sofa. Beyond a sliding door is the state-of-the-art faux lawn with various lawn ornaments perfect for sniffing. A built-in power sprinkler and drainage system takes care of cleanup with the push of a button.

All plumbing and fixtures are pre-installed in our example above. The walls and floors are finished and ready for a designer’s finishing touch. It’s easy to see with a little imagination how the future of luxury can be attained through modular construction.
