Typically they will use a metal 'hold down strap' to connect the modules together both vertically and horizontally. Additionally, strips of OSB are used to splice the modules together at their matelines.
NO they are not. This is the exact opposite of mobile. Disaster Proof engineering includes Earthquakes, Fire, Hurricanes, concrete, steel, and building technologies that have been around in Europe, Japan, Scandinavia and China since many years ago. They are now perfected for climate resistance, netzero efficiency and no carbon from construction sites and done in less time and less waste. Buildings are up between 5-8 months. Houses: 90-120 days and installed in 1-7 days depending on structure. All constructed in controlled setting not on site. On site does not have the precision. I am involved in this arena for I am in love, with solutions for climate change.
Everyone says this, but I've been in a lot of trailer's and I've never even heard of one being like this in real life. This is just what rich people r told so they spend more money. I've house house heat bills over $1000. I've never had a trailer heat bill over 500
They made the concrete frame first (like they already do) then use a crane to insert the prefab, and then drill, bolt, and plaster the prefab in place. Just as safe, and even safer in the long run because there's less mistakes in prefabs.
@@guillermogutierrez-santana4446 No. They are like any other wooden structure. They are stacked on top of each other. No concrete frame (other than the base)
The acoustics of this building method is actually much better than traditional buildings because there is a double layer of structure between levels. The ceiling of one module and the floor of the module above. It helps to isolate impact sound from shoes, etc much better.
Are you kidding? Do you have any idea what this would cost site built? Do you have any idea what a plumbing system costs? Electric? Plus includes all appliances? In the Bay Area? You must be living way below poverty level and can’t afford anything.
@@loljewlol He is saying that because Soviet apartment buildings were built using pre built panels that were stacked together. To provide mass fast housing after WW2.
@@loljewlolThis is not so far off how most apartment buildings were built there, but they did that because of a severe lack of affordable housing in cities. This was the quickest, cheapest, easiest way to resolve the shortage.
These are becoming quite popular. Lots of new projects using them in Philadelphia.
But it's still pretty expensive considering these are modular
Modular is much different than 'manufactured' housing, aka trailers. These are built to the same building codes as your traditional construction type.
Like the idea
How do they stack up the modules? Using what kind of connection details?
good question. How is the load transfered from uplift?

Trailers. Mobil homes. Hot in summer cold in winter. Withstanding Earthquakes?How long do they last?

IF YOU PUT A GOOD AIR CONDITIONER YOU CAN MAKE LIKE A MANSION

hirise buildings have concrete floors and walls separatng units to prevent the spread of fire, how does that work for these prefabs??

you can hear your neighbor so well you know exactly when there is a fire.

@@mountshasta2002 Why would these have any worse sound insulation than other construction methods?
@@danhassler6585 They perform much better acoustically, due to the redundancy of the structure.
Imagine how loud your neighbors are going to sound on those floors :'(

Uhhhh
$60k for those shit boxes 🤣🤡

Do you want Soviet Russia? Because this is how you get Soviet Russia.
Don't know why you thinking a construction method is comparable to communism, but sometimes people like you have incomprehensible thinking.
Because a private company is making money selling a product they create? Interesting that you think Soviet Russia was so capitalist lmfao.
Bruh, there's nothing wrong with having some midrises in the housing mix.
