goModdi

06/08/2024

goModdi is a fundamentally different approach to traditional construction methods and building procurement. With the construction industry being a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions accounting for approximately 39% of the world's carbon emissions, and cement production alone contributing to about 8% of global CO2 emissions, goModdi offers a wholly new approach to the goal of sustainability with a ‘first principles’ approach to environmentally conscious construction and the environmental benefits afforded by prefabrication and lightweight modular construction.

Prefabricated modular construction significantly reduces waste. The traditional method of on site construction often involves cutting the materials on-site, this generates considerable waste due to off-cuts and errors. In contrast, goModdi modular construction is undertaken in a controlled environment where the materials are cut with precision. This precision reduces waste by optimising material usage and excess materials are reused or recycled. As a consequence, the overall waste produced is significantly lower when compared to traditional on site construction.

There is efficiency in the prefabricated, repeatable modular construction process itself, which translates to a lower carbon footprint. Since the modules are constructed in a controlled setting, multiple modules are built simultaneously, with repeated tasks that can be automated, speeding up the construction timeline. This efficiency reduces the time that machinery and labour is needed for construction, equipment operation, and workforce commuting. Products and materials are delivered to a single point for construction, which in turn decreases the amount of energy and emissions associated with transportation for project overall.

goModdi is designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind, designed to be highly energy-efficient, with better insulation and airtightness, reducing the need for heating and cooling. This energy-efficient quality construction helps lower the modules’ operational carbon footprint over their lifetimes, contributing to long-term sustainability and reduced environmental impact.

The goModdi approach has the ability to replace or recycle individual modules, resale and redistribution across various site, promoting a circular economy. Unlike traditional buildings, where renovations or structural changes can be resource-intensive and generate significant waste, goModdi modules are designed to allow for the easy removal, replacement, or refurbishment of individual modules within a home. This flexibility means that when a module reaches the end of its life cycle or requires an upgrade or repair, it can be detached and either refurbished for reuse elsewhere or recycled into new construction materials.

By facilitating modular construction efficiencies, upgrades and recycling, the goModdi construction method supports sustainable building practices and reduces the overall ecological footprint on the environment, over the repeatable lifecycle of each and every module.
