1.		P348 Building design using modules
		The use of modular and other lightweight forms of building construction is increasing. The benefits of off-site prefabrication and improved quality in manufacture are being realised for residential buildings, for mixed commercial/housing projects, educational and health sector buildings. This publication reviews the basic principles of design using modular construction and addresses the opportunities to achieve a sensible level of standardisation, covering basic dimensions for planning interfaces with cladding, services and other details. It addresses the following essential topics: - Types of modules - Mixed modular and panel construction - Modules and primary structure - Other types of modules - Technical issues - Dimensional planning   File size: 1,139.8KB (approximate download times - broadband: 4.6secs; modem: 4.6mins)
