How Digital Technologies Are Changing the Modular Game
How does this building method become a serious player in the world of global construction?
From Vision to Reality: Bringing Modular to the Masses
After years of writing about modular construction, I’m happy to report that this innovative building method is finally making its mark on the global construction industry. But even as modular becomes more accepted in some markets, its popularity still varies widely from region to region.
4 Steps to a Successful Off-site Construction Process
With permanent modular construction (or PMC), you build with modules, so you spend 90% of the pre-construction time in the design and submittal phase. Of the remaining 10%, up to 95% can be completed in a factory-controlled setting. This makes the actual time on the job site extremely brief compared to traditional builds, but there are 5 crucial steps that need to be taken to make the construction process a success.
Off-site Construction: 5 Factors to Consider Before Breaking Ground
To avoid mistakes that can both cost you time and blow your budget, construction firms are focusing more and more on impactful pre-construction practices. Before even breaking ground, meticulous plans are put into place to keep your project on track from start to finish.
Why Coordination is Key in Off-site Construction
With any type of construction, meeting — or missing — a deadline can make or break a project. This is especially true with an off-site build, where efficiency and accelerated timelines are touted as major benefits. These benefits are often the reason the building method is chosen over traditional construction in the first place.
Planning for Prefab: The Steps to a Successful Off-site Build
The benefits of off-site construction are undeniable. From more efficient processes to quicker training and safer conditions, the inherent advantages of this unique building method speak for themselves. Still, much of the traditional construction industry has been slow to adopt off-site construction — even in situations where it would be ideal for a particular market.
5 Major Benefits of Off-site Construction
Why off-site construction is superior to its traditional on-site counterpart?
Vertex Showroom: Remote Construction Made Easy
In construction, collaboration is crucial. Even in the most seamless situations, projects are only successful when all members of the building team come together to make decisions, solve problems, and share information.

The Rise of the Prefab Market: Part 2
Prefab construction has been in use for decades. But new reports are finding the method has become more popular in recent years as architects, engineers, designers, contractors, and buyers recognize its benefits.
The Rise of the Prefab Market: Part 1
The benefits of prefab construction are undeniable. But do these benefits have the power to produce a genuine, widespread, and sustainable impact on the residential and commercial real estate markets?
Prefab Systems + BIM — a Winning Combination
To truly appreciate prefab construction and all its benefits, you have to understand how prefab structures come together. We take a closer look at the two different types of prefab systems, as well as the pros and cons of each.
The Power of Prefab to Increase Efficiency and Save Money – Part 2
Prefabrication can significantly reduce the timeline on construction schedules. This reduced timeline lowers labor costs, keeps on-site overhead costs in check, and allows stakeholders to move on to their next project more quickly.

The Power of Prefab to Increase Efficiency and Save Money – Part 1
For decades, construction has fallen short in the areas of efficiency and performance. But today, thanks to a recent shift toward off-site manufacturing-style production, there’s an opportunity for construction processes to speed up — an advancement that will save a significant amount of time and money.
Estonian builders visit Nordic CLT and modular construction companies
Vertex Systems invited Estonian wood builders to Finland to learn about Nordic CLT and modular construction.
Modular Construction Takes Construction Productivity to a New Level
Recent modular builds are speeding up project timelines by 20–50% while saving construction costs.
BIM: Modernizing Building Lifecycle Management
BIM technology is the backbone of what’s known as Building Lifecycle Management — the integrated coordination, organization, and control of all the information that pertains to a building project.
