Is Modular Construction Right For The Next Project?

Though prefabricated (prefab) and modular construction has existed for decades, its adoption has accelerated in recent years due to shifts in market demands and advancements in technology that have replaced outdated perceptions of such structures with a host of significant advantages.

This construction method involves assembling sections or modules of a building off-site in a controlled environment before transporting and installing them at the final location. On-site construction and its prefab and modular alternatives each offer distinct upsides and present potential challenges. Here are the basics that can help determine whether this construction method is a viable and attractive method to achieve certain goals.
