What is Volumetric Construction?
'Volumetric construction is the process of manufacturing fully enclosed, six-sided building modules in an off-site factory setting and then assembling them together on-site to construct one large building'
This is NOT your Grandaddy's 'modular' house!
The Nexxus building modules of today are a cutting edge product manufactured in modern factory facilities akin to high end vehicle assembly. with finishes, similar to a modern 4 star hotel.
Our volumetric construction method is one type of modern modular construction. Technically, all volumetric construction is modular construction, but not all modular construction is volumetric.
A Nexxus volumetric building module is very different from cheap older wobbly box modular construction
· Volumetric modules are engineered to exact tolerances in a factory environment, fully fitted with floors, ceilings, electrical , kitchens, bathrooms, doors, windows etc
· Volumetric buildings are designed using BIM (Building Information Modeling) allowing the computer designed building to be exactly represented by the physical building. Seamlessly going from design to construction.

· Volumetric modules are built to the IBC ‘international building code’ adopted by most jurisdictions in the USA. The IBC addresses modern health, safety and performance related requirements.
