Do modular buildings get moldy?

Air quality was a concern years ago in some modular structures. Reasons? Air change units too small to renew the air properly. Carpeting allowed to get damp and become moldy. Even some wall coverings were a problem. And, overall, materials standards were well below today's. Today, we pay close attention to matching materials with their environment and usage, and much enhanced standard specifications of modular buildings have resulted.

You claim modular buildings can be relocated. How difficult is the relocation process?

ModSpace : Resources
The relocation is not difficult thanks to the pre-fabrication process used in constructing modular buildings. Here's how it works. Modular buildings are completed within a controlled manufacturing environment with systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC pre-installed. The building modules are then transported to the site by truck. Once the modules are delivered, they undergo a simple finishing process whereby the building's seams, electrical, and plumbing systems are connected.

What is a modular course?

BCCC Distance Learning - FAQ
Modular courses cover the same information, accrue the same credits, and fulfill the same program credits as their 15-week counterparts. However, they do it in a compressed timeframe of 9 to 10 weeks. This increases the expectation of students' workload, as well. For a typical 15-week course, a minimum of 6 - 9 hours per week should be expected for classwork; for a modular course, this expectation increases to a minimum of 8 - 12 hours per week.

What about modular systems?

Roofscapes Inc.
