| CIMC Modular Building Systems ing costs due to the fact that you’re executing the project in half the time, and it starts to really deliver some fantastic savings to the developer. In many cases, they’re the savings that the development needs to proceed.” In general, modular systems also outperform conventional construction both acoustically and thermally. Case in point, CIMC’s modularly-constructed buildings are showing approximately a 30 per cent reduction in running costs for heating and cooling in comparison to conventionally-constructed buildings. John believes these savings to be the primary reason why modular construction is becoming increasingly utilised and embraced in the areas of the industry that are currently facing “a bit of an affordability crisis.” This certainly seems to be the case in the hotel sector, where many high-rise hotel projects are being scrapped or halted due to the exorbitant price of conventional construction. In these instances, the time and cost savings associated with modular construction “are absolutely critical and essential in order for those projects to go ahead.” Companies are also recognising the benefits in terms of quality that come with modular technology. John references major organisations like Hilton and Marriott, who have
