Modular Integrated Construction (MiC)

 

MiC is a construction method of using factory-based prefabricated construction components, i.e. modules.  These modules are then transported to the construction sites where they are assembled into a finished buildings.  This process is much faster than traditional construction methods and can save up to 50% on construction time.  Additionally, it produces less building waste, is more environmentally friendly, and creates less environmental nuisance to the community.   Moreover, MiC can integrated with other latest technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), block chain, etc. to guide the construction, operation and maintenance of buildings.

In addition, MiC allows customization of other building facilities to cater for specific needs of the building. Here’s an example showing how MiC can be applied to elevator construction to improve the efficiency, quality, and safety.
