What is
Modular Construction?
Modular construction, quite simply stated, is a better way to build. Leveraging best practices from the manufacturing industry, modular construction is redefining how buildings are built, bringing progress to an industry that has not seen significant technological advances since the introduction of drywall more than 100 years ago.
The modules are prefabricated in a controlled factory environment while the site is being prepared for installation allowing projects to be completed up to 50% faster than conventional site-built construction.
