What is Volumetric Modular Construction as described in the webinar?
*
A) A construction method where materials are fabricated on-site
B) A method where large, self-contained units are fabricated off-site and delivered nearly complete
C) A method using only steel frames for multi-story buildings
D) A process focused solely on residential buildings
What are some of the main challenges mentioned regarding modular construction?
*
A) Difficulty in gaining regulatory approval in some areas
B) Negative public perception of modular construction
C) Limited production capacity in factories
D) All of the above
According to the presentation, how does modular construction typically save time compared to traditional construction methods?
*
A) By allowing foundations to be built on-site while modules are constructed in the factory simultaneously
B) By eliminating the need for architectural design
C) By requiring fewer inspections overall
D) None of the above
What advantage does volumetric modular construction have in achieving acoustic separation?
*
A) Soundproof panels on exterior walls block external noise effectively
B) Stacked units create double-floor and double-wall systems with air gaps, leading to good STC values
C) Noise-dampening paint is applied to shared walls and floors
D) Steel framing between modules ensures superior sound isolation
