Hence, the benefits of prefabricated construction implementation boost its growth prospects in the education sector. 

The system segment includes cellular system, panel system, combined system, skeleton system, and other systems.

A cellular structure is a fully functional part of a building. A building constructed from cellular modules can be multiplied into a full-scale modular building. Also, cellular systems undertake a vital role in developing multidimensional structures in the prefabricated building market. In addition, they are regularly used for building cells to enable isolation.  

A combined modular construction includes prefabrication that integrates varied systems or element types. Combined systems are used in a number of setups wherever complicated prefabrication is necessary. Also, this system is used when several machines are needed for large-scale manufacturing. 

Furthermore, the combined system has multiple layers and entails filled blocks and lightweight or reinforced concrete that has been pre-stressed. However, the transportation method’s size limitations place limits on modular units.
