ABSTRACT
In this paper, we discussed about the concept, application areas, advantages, and disadvantages of the modular houses.
INTRODUCTION
A prefabricated structure or building is a structure that has several factory built components that are assembled on a site.
WHAT IS PREFABRICATION?
The Modular homes are created in sections, and then transported to the home site for construction and installation.
The modular houses are constructed in accordance with the IBC (International Building Code).
Constructing manufactured homes typically involves connecting plumbing and electrical lines across the sections, and sealing the sections
Manufactured homes can be built onto a permanent foundation, and if designed correctly, can be difficult to distinguish from a stick-built home to the untrained eye.
Manufactured homes are typically purchased from a retail sales company, initially assembled by a local contracting company, and follow-up repairs performed by the manufactured home company under warranty.
ERECTION OF COMPONENTS
The Standard Prefabricated Building System consists of a Welded Tubular and Structural Steel Frame with a Panelised Wall and Roof System. The Floor is Structural Grade Plywood with Vinyl Composition Tile. A complete Electrical system is provided and includes Lights, Duplex Outlets, Switches, Sub Panel, Breakers, Conduits and Wiring. HVAC package is mounted in a Pre-framed Panel and supplies Cooling, Heating and Fresh Air.
CONCLUSION:
Due to the flexibility of the structure in expandability and appearance this prefab houses are the best choice. From the several advantages like reusability, high scrap value, durability, less construction time makes this user friendly. Also, they can be installed in passive weather conditions also.
