Abstract: Modular construction is becoming increasingly popular in North East India, especially in Guwahati, due to its efficiency and sustainability. This innovative construction method offers several benefits in a region where logistics and construction materials can be challenging. It is particularly advantageous in areas prone to natural disasters and allows for flexibility in design while being customizable to meet various requirements. Modular construction can offer significant benefits in North East India. The region's challenging topography, weather conditions, and seismic activity make transportation and logistics difficult. The prefabricated modules can be transported more easily to remote areas, making construction more feasible in this region. This paper explores the benefits of utilizing precast shear walls and sandwich panel walls in the northeastern region. The study involves the design and analysis of a structure using software such as ETABS and Revit, which are Building Information Modeling Software (BIM). The measurements adhere to IS 456:2000 and IS 15916:2010 of the Indian Standard Codes.
