Modular vs On-Site Construction.

A deep dive analysis into construction methodologies.

MODULAR vs ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION

Here’s why an off-site construction team will always be faster than an on-site team:

Rain or shine, sleet or snow, our factory keeps building. In geographies with harsh weather conditions and a short building window, this drives big benefits.

With on-site construction, you can’t install plaster board and pour the foundation on the same day. There are significant time savings from parallel processing site work and modules simultaneously.

Additionally, our furniture and fitout subsidiary ensures your modules are delivered onsite with all fixtures and fittings – significantly reducing onsite fitout time and the number of trades needed.

Can certainty and construction exist in the same sentence? Absolutely.

Greater supply chain control and purchasing insights.

VBC has partnered directly with commodity manufacturers to cut out the distributors and representatives. This not only keeps costs more affordable but gives VBC greater control over the supply chain and better insights into purchasing. 

This is only possible because VBC has brand standards that are consistent across projects. VBC orders in high volumes of supplies, for example, VBC, has partnered directly with a plaster board manufacturer to utilise their boards and our assemblies directly. This allows us to cut out distributors and reduce costs. 

When you’ve manufactured more than 6,000 units that’s significant savings and increased supply chain certainty.

WHY IS OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION SUSTAINABLE?

We recycle like the earth depends on it.

Keeping 1 tonne of timber per day out of landfills. VBC is working with a circular economy partner to upcycle timber cutoffs into studs and engineered wood.

We recycle 420 tonnes of plaster board annually. That’s the equivalent of 10 herds of elephants. Plaster board offcuts go to a plaster board producer who grinds it up and reuses it.

We recycle all our steel scrap. A single project can generate up to 10 tonnes of steel scrap. None of that goes to waste with our recycling process.
