Volumetric building units can be very attractive due to several benefits in comparison with traditional construction, mainly, a reduced building time and reducing associated costs, material waste reduction, safer working environment, and improved quality. In our study, several concrete prototypes modules or Prefabricated Finished Volumetric Concrete Construction (PFVCC) was fabricated, then modular houses based on this concept were built. This allows to characterize all the construction process of the PFVCC, and to gauge its mechanical efficiency, including during their transportation. This new concept of concrete modular houses fulfils the actual requirements of modern construction as optimal insulation, acoustic performance, environmental aspects and modern architecture.
