模块化建筑是如何现的？How does modular construction work?

第一步 | Step 1

设计、工程和批准。像所有的建筑过程一样，在建造完美的模块化建筑之前，需要进行设计。这是过程中重要的一步，值得你花时间去做，所以你不要忘记那些小细节，它们会给你一个完美的最终构建。除了设计，工程也是一个需要花很多心思的步骤。有必要考虑可能影响建筑设计结果的建筑法规。这个步骤的最后一部分是批准，如果设计需要修改，在进一步考虑之前，这可能需要时间。然而，由于模块化建筑的许多环境效益，这种类型的建筑技术受到规划师的鼓励。

Design, Engineering, and Approval. Like all building processes, before construction can begin on the perfect modular building, it needs to be designed. This is an important step in the process and worth taking your time on, so you don’t forget the small details that will give you the perfect final build. In addition to design, engineering is also a step that requires a lot of thought. It is necessary to take into consideration building regulations that may affect the outcome of your building’s design. The final part of this step is approval, which can take time if the design needs modifications before being considered further. However, with the many environmental benefits of modular construction, this type of building technique is encouraged by planners.

第二步 | Step 2

异地建房。在与建筑师完成设计后，施工图被送到工厂，在那里建造大部分建筑。传统建筑和模块化建筑的区别在于，模块化建设的 60 %到 90 %是在受控的生产环境中异地施工的。从墙壁到机械系统到固定装置和内部饰面(如油漆和地毯),一切都可以在装配线上完成。这是一个快速而高效的过程，材料和构建的质量得到高度维护。

Building off-site. After the design is finalized with an architect, the construction plans are sent to a factory where most of the building is constructed. The difference between conventional and modular buildings is that 60% to 90% of the construction of a modular building is constructed off-site in a controlled production environment. Everything from walls to mechanical systems to fixtures and interior finishes like paint and carpet can be completed on the assembly line off-site. This is a quick and efficient process where the quality of the materials and build are highly maintained.
