Framed Structures
Framing, in construction, is the fitting together of pieces to give a structure support and shape. Framing materials are usually wood, engineered wood, or structural steel. Also refer to as a Skeleton, The structure must be rigid and not depend on any floors or walls for support.
Traditional Structures
Traditional buildings are generally defined as those built before 1919, with solid – not cavity – walls, from a range of natural materials including stone, earth, brick, wood and lime (used for mortars, renders and paints). Each traditional building that survives today, regardless of size, type or status, is important.
These buildings do not have cavities walls and are very solid and usually are made of fewer materials. Conventional and established buildings are referred to as traditional, Whereas Modular designs are the opposite and revolutionise the area.
Modular Structures
‘Modular construction‘ is a term used to describe the use of factory-produced pre-engineered building units delivered to site and assembled as large volumetric components or as substantial elements of a building.
The meaning of Modular refers back to prefabricated rooms and buildings. The Room or building can be made to British standards specification and designed on paper before being pieced together and delivered to site for the customer to use on their project. All the modular structures may look very similar to other surrounding buildings, They are very easy to produce and come around for projects to be finished faster.
