Characteristics
Wide product range, solutions for a variety of applications, technical support, improved quality control, reduced waste,
Modular building a.k.a. offsite construction involves completing typically over 80% of the construction off-site and then transporting the component parts (modules) to the site for assembly. This construction method can address certain local challenges such as labor shortages and local construction regulations. Sika provides one of the widest product ranges for modular construction solutions.
