What is the Modular Unit System (MUS)?

Modular Unit System (MUS), also known as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction, is a construction technology that use ready-made off-site dry built modules which are then brought to the site for installation.

The modular structures used in modular construction can stand-alone or be connected side-by-side, end-to-end or in multiple storeys to make buildings of any scale or layout. The use of modular structures in modular construction works means they can be used for almost any interim or permanent application, ranging from site huts to state-of-the-art operating theatres.

Why Choose MUS?

Enhanced Productivity:

MUS can achieve a lessened manpower requirements by about 40% when it comes to time lost thanks to ANP its use in construction of complex projects.

Improved Construction Environment:

Off-site fabrication minimizes the amount of dust and noise on site as well as minimizes safety risks on site.

Supremacy Quality Control:

A factory atmosphere permits a more controlled end product to be produced during construction.

Time Efficient:

Modular construction can cut the completion of your project to about 70% as compared to the conventional approach. Off-site module manufacturing enables groundwork and foundation work to be done concurrently.

Flexible solutions:

Modular Construction can adjust with time so your requirements can help you make the chang. Expand the size, reduce them or alter the layout or relocate them depending on the need.

Reduced Site Disruption:

Built-up from the start Modular construction can reduce the amount of construction traffic by as much as 90% which helps in reducing disruption and improving security. Your site may still be in use even if it is being built at the same time.

Weather-Resistant and Efficient:

Modular construction is better than stick-built construction that experiences significant weather-related delays and extensive contractor shortages. Once modules are fitted in place, the fully furnished unit is available for use.

Sustainable Construction:

Off-site manufacturing helps to reduce waste of construction materials by ninety percent when compared to on-site disposal waste associated with construction. The energy spent is also limited due to well-organized factory production processes of these top-tier manufacturers.

Considerations for Using MUS

Early Contractor Involvement:

Rather than wait until operations begin, developers and project administrators should rely on MUS suppliers, manufacturers, and prime contractors at the design stage to develop practical outlines of the technical solutions to be employed. Such parameters as type of material, module size, and mass are critical to the entire design.

Site and Project Management:

The project site should possess good access roads to cater for the mass and dimension of the MUS super modules. There should be sufficient access to the construction site to ensure straightforward to and around the site trailer movements. Just-in-time (JIT) installation can reduce the amount of work and time spent on storage and administration of construction materials and components. The construction site should have a crane that can lift modules that are heavy and advance planning of where the crane is positioned is vital to ensure modules are fitted into position quickly.

Maintenance, Replacement, and Renovation:

It must be necessary for builders and developers to issue a user guide for MUF systems to a new occupant of the building at the conclusion of the project. If homeowners carry out renovations, they should hire contractors that are familiar with the MUS system and adhere to the manual’s instructions.
