Traditional construction methods are unsuitable for developing student accommodation on campuses with limited or restricted sites.
Modular construction unlocks marginal sites that would not be viable for development using traditional methods. The much-reduced need for materials to be stored and used on site minimises disruption and needs less space during construction.

The much-reduced timeframe for modular construction means there is more control over project schedules. This makes it possible to schedule construction to focus on vacation time when campuses are quieter and avoid exam periods.
A modular student housing project can cut construction time in half because design and construction teams can work in parallel to develop both the digital documentation and the subsequent physical structures.
This means you start seeing a return on your investment significantly faster than with traditional construction.
VBC teamed up with BG Capital to provide housing near the Temple University campus in Philadelphia. For any student housing project, it's crucial to deliver the construction quickly and with minimum site disruption. The North 11th project was completed in 40% less time than the traditional on-site construction, adding 324 more living units to the neighbourhood.
