Forms of Construction
cavity walls is composed of two induvial masonry walls separated by a air space. the external part of the wall is made of bricks and faces outside of the building structure.
-
cavity walls require an installation of vertical damp proof course to all openings, this can increase the costs.

if moisture makes contact with the cavity insulation internally,its abvoility to keep your home or building will get smaller .
modular construction
There will be Minimal impact on the project, the beauty of this form of construction is that it can remove of to 80% of construction activity on-site. due to all the components being pre made in factories.
Restricted sizes due to transportation issues. The vehicle which transports these prefabricated materials may not have the size capacity to carry the load of the materials
due to the high level of transportation used for the transport of these components , there will be a high level carbon footprint . furthermore this is an unethical approach.
The speed of the construction of the building is incredibly quick compared to other forms of construction such as traditional construction furthermore modular construction projects are completed from 30-50% quicker compared to traditional construction.
types of Modular construction
- 4 sided modules
-partially open-sided modules
-non load bearing modules.
Modular construction describes substantial elements of a building that are factory produced and delivered on-site using transportation for assembly possibly by using a crane.
Timber Frames is one of many forms of traditional construction, timber framed construction uses timber studs and rails together with a sheathing board to produce a structural frame.
Timber floors also known as hollow floors are timber joists suspended across and supported by load bearing joints under the floor.
Traditional construction
this is an on-site form of construction whereas modular construction focuses on its components being produced in a factory traditional construction makes everything on-site.
traditional construction requires high levelled skilled designers and builders. this can then lead to a increase in construction costs.
Traditional construction is much more time consuming compared to modular construction due to everything happening on-site not in a factory.
The level of uniqueness achieved is much more higher compared to modular construction , due to the amount of time consumption spent on the construction of the building.
When working wit an architect the client will have the freedom to modify . when more construction techniques are utilized, most houses and buildings are build in a similar way. the use in traditional construction techniques results in more sturdier homes being built.
masonry walls is another form of traditional construction that can be used in production of a multi-use sports complex. masonry walls are the most durable part of any building structure. in other words masonry walls are the development of mortar as a material which joins individual bricks to form a wall.
Framed construction this refers to the rigid skeleton structure of a building , it helps support a building structurally.
framed construction
-
for examples steel frames have a very high level of strength or durability, steel components are lighter stronger compared to wood or concrete.
