Could Modular Building be the future? You decide. By: Matt Jones

It's no secret that I'm a pretty big advocate of innovation within the trades, which is why I was really excited to learn about modular building.

Now before we go on I need to clarify something. No, we're not talking about living in shipping containers.

I'm always looking out for people and companies that have developed a cool angle on an existing product, or service. Here are another couple of episodes that have a really cool innovative spin:

• Episode 50 - Turning firewood into furniture
• Episode 55 - Intelligent lighting

I stumbled across ArchiBlox on an Instagram post a number of months ago (credit to the folks at Green Elec) and I was very impressed with their product.

Imagine being able to build a home from spec, have it built off site and then have it delivered to location on a truck and installed. Sounds crazy, right?

In this podcast, I do my best to dive as deep as possible within a limited time to ascertain the pro's, con's and processes of modular building with Bill McCorkell of ArchiBlox.

Here are a handful of the topics that we cover in this podcast:

• Quality control
• Maintenance and repair
• Structural integrity and loading capacities
• DA and council related legalities
• Insurances
• Connection to other services
• Limitations
• Preferred locations/scenarios
• Renovation possibilities
• Comparisons to traditional development methods
• Thermal advantages (heating/cooling)
• Material sourcing
• Installation costs
• Maintenance costs
• Purchase costs
• Who would modular building suit?
• What is the future?

This is a really cool podcast, with a really interesting man, who has an amazing product.
