One compelling reason to consider modular construction is its positive effect on our environment. According to the Modular Building Institute, modular techniques are “inherently” green. Not only is it the right thing to do, but modular construction also translates...
Safety does not happen by accident. This axiom holds true at home, on the road, and on the job. Safety on job sites under construction is extremely important; quite literally, lives are at stake. Did you know projects using modular construction techniques may improve...
It’s no coincidence that modular construction is becoming increasingly accepted as a viable building method. A recent survey of 800 Australian design and contracting professionals confirms that modular techniques result in shorter project schedules, lower budgets, and...
If you could save 15% on your next project, how would you use it? More developers are beginning to appreciate the potential cost savings of using modular construction. In Hempstead, N.Y., La Cyte Development and Clayton Homes used modular units to build a...
I have been thinking lately about why prefabrication and modular construction (“off-site construction”) has not caught on more within the construction industry. There are numerous benefits: cost savings, waste reduction, and improved efficiency to name a few. More...
I’ve been reading the 2015 report on modular building case studies from The Modular Building Institute and The University of Utah’s Integrated Technology in Architecture Center (ITAC). The report gives a glimpse into the details of 17 different modular projects,...
