The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of using modular home building technology. Modular construction is determined by approaches that do not follow traditional methods. The system is reduced to the assembly of prefabricated buildings from individual modules. These modular elements are usually manufactured at the factory. This helps to remove weather restrictions, reduces the risk of a shortage of labor on the spot. Placed on the foundation, the individual modules are assembled into a complete modular structure. With modular housing construction, the possibilities and choices are quite limitless. There is always an opportunity to make an individual design. In prefabricated houses, it is possible to use modules equipped with water supply, sewerage, heating and electricity systems. The article presents an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the modular design. The advantages are listed in terms of quality, economy, time and ecology, as well as in terms of design flexibility and work safety, both during production and during installation on the construction site. The disadvantages of the modular design are also considered - complex transportation of modules requiring coordination of production and construction, the high cost of production and its typification.

The article considers the impact of wind flow on buildings and structures. The analysis of the influence of wind pressure on buildings of various shapes is carried out. The three main effects of wind occurring around wind-sensitive buildings are indicated. A comparison of three building forms was made. It is established that the round shape of the building in the plan has a smaller moment of resistance from wind gusts and from the force of resistance. It is determined that these parameters are higher in the case of square and rectangular buildings.
