The term “modular” is often used interchangeably with the term “prefab” when, in fact, there is more than one method of prefabrication. At Turkel Design, our homes employ a panelized prefabrication system—while the building components are fabricated off-site, they are not modular homes.
In both modular and panelized prefabrication, a large part of the house is built in a specialized facility. In modular construction, whole portions of the house are built as large volumes, either partially or fully finished. They are then trucked to the building site and lifted onto a pre-built foundation.
In panelized construction, the house’s exterior and interior walls are also pre-built, but those walls are constructed into a series of flat panels. These panels can be shipped on a conventional flat-bed truck, then assembled on-site on a ready foundation.
为什么要采用预制构件呢？
Both modular and panelized construction address problems presented by conventional “stick-built” construction. It’s difficult to build accurately when you must measure, cut, and nail every piece of the house on-site. Building this way can also take a great deal of time. Plus, if the house is to achieve a high quality of finish, that might require a level of building expertise that is not available, or financially appropriate, in every locality. Prefabrication can be more accurate, it can be faster, it can provide a superior product, but most importantly, it provides 可预测性.
Why do we use prefabricated panels?
Panelized prefabrication allows for spatial variety, which gives our homes a level of customization that is not commonly associated with prefab. Modular construction makes this variety difficult to achieve efficiently.
Fixed-width modules are are often too big for an intimate space and too small for an expansive one. A house module, transported by truck, can be no taller than the lowest highway overpass it must pass under.
A more efficient option
预制房屋以板材形式用卡车运到工地时，板材可以像“平板包装”一样在卡车上堆叠起来，这样每次运输就能运送大量材料。而模块化房屋则需要大量空气在高速公路上运输。板材运输是更高效的预制房屋运输方式。.
您的 Turkel Design 住宅几乎可以建在任何地方。
One of the advantages we offer at Turkel Design is our ability to design homes for 几乎任何地方: in cities and suburbs, on sites near town or out in the wilderness, and in locations near and far. The sheer size of house modules prevents them from being shipped down the narrow or steep roads that lead to remote sites. And modules are subject to damage if they travel over long distances—from wind and rain and sheer roadway vibration. Panels avoid both these problems.
您的房屋可以接受正规检查。
预制板避免了另一个问题：一些地区出于各种原因抵制模块化房屋。其中一个原因是，模块化房屋的结构、电线和管道通常隐藏在石膏板后面，建筑官员无法进行检查。而我们的预制板房屋墙体是裸露的，因此可以在安装过程中检查结构和各种系统。预制板房屋让您可以在任何符合您梦想的地块上建造您的梦想家园。.
