COMPARISON OF PREFABRICATED MODULAR HOMES AND TRADITIONAL R.C.C HOMES IN TERMS OF IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This paper represents the study of traditional R.C.C homes and prefabricated modular homes in terms of Impact on environment .The main aim is to provide a framework of the implications and trade off of both construction methods and determine which method has minimum negative impact on environment The methodology consists of comparison of prefabricated modular homes and R.C.C homes by calculating waste generated by both construction methods and then deciding which method generates minimum waste and overviews of the benefits of each construction method over the other. Quantitative analysis which compares both methods in terms of Waste generated during construction. Analyses are conducted by evaluating two case studies of single family house through the proposed method it is possible to evaluate the cost effectiveness of the two construction methods for home projects which could serve a valuable tool for decision making.
