Creating tailored solutions for a range of industries

Modular solutions provide public buildings with convenience and speed

The modular construction industry is currently growing at a rate of 6.3% per year, putting it on course to reach a value of £12 billion by 2025[i].

This rapid growth is testament to the way that modular construction – with its speed, efficiency, and improved quality control – provides a solution to some of the biggest challenges facing construction, including housing shortages, cost-pressures, and environmental concerns.

At ASSA ABLOY, we provide door hardware specifications that are specially tailored to the intended use of each building.

Whether you need door hardware that meets strict hygiene and safety regulations for a healthcare facility, or robust products for an education setting, our door hardware solutions meet the highest standards of safety, convenience, and security.

What are the benefits of modular construction?

When you consider the benefits of the practise, it is little wonder that the proportion of new-build projects that use modular construction has risen from 9% in 2017 to 16% in 2023[i].

Key among these benefits is reduced on-site disruption. By moving most of the construction process to a factory setting, the need for large-scale on-site work is reduced, meaning less noise, dust, and disruption to the surrounding area.

Modular construction also often equals shorter construction times, as modules are built off-site in a controlled environment while site preparation proceeds simultaneously.

In addition, it offers greater flexibility, providing more scope for the customisation of buildings to meet specific needs, whether for temporary structures such as pop-up healthcare facilities or permanent schools or housing.
