Academy of Modular Construction and Engineering Technologies
Fundamentals of Modular Construction
A foundational engineering course on structure, geometry, standardization, service life and the selection of modular solutions.
What the course teaches
Distinguish between a block container, a modular building and a technological module
Understand what a module consists of and how its frame works
Read the size range and understand what module compatibility means
Choose a series and a solution that can be produced, delivered and maintained in your location
Course program
What a modular building isYou will understand how modular technology differs from on-site construction and where its advantages are real.
Open →Block container vs. modular building: what is the differenceYou will be able to name the product correctly in a specification and understand when a comparison "by price per square meter" does not work.
Open →What a block module consists ofYou will assess a module by its hidden parts — frame, floor, joints and building services — rather than by its external cladding.
Open →How the steel frame worksYou will understand the frame's structural scheme and the role of fittings and steel protection.
Open →Module sizes and dimensionsYou will read the INTERMODULE size range and know which sizes can be transported without a special permit.
Open →Standardization, series and configurationsYou will be able to distinguish series-built modules from the Project series and understand what exactly is worth unifying.
Open →Service life and maintainabilityYou will evaluate a solution over its full life cycle: maintenance, spare parts, module replacement.
Open →Number of storeys in a modular buildingYou will understand what is checked when moving from one storey to two and three.
Open →Applications of modular solutionsYou will be able to identify where modularity delivers real value, and avoid carrying the requirements of one function over to another.
Open →Algorithm for choosing a locally feasible solutionYou will get a step-by-step procedure that reduces the risk of rework after the tender.
