Why Modular Construction??

Monday, October 19th, 2009

In October of 2008, Building Design+Construction conducted a survey of a subsection of its subscriber base, asking readers about modular construction.  These respondents were made up of architects, engineers, developers, business owners, facility managers, and general contractors representing a cross section of non-residential markets.  “Speed of construction” was the primary advantage of modular construction cited, with 79% believing modular was as fast or much faster than conventional construction.  Further, 69% percent said modular construction was “as sustainable” or a “more sustainable” construction process than site-built.
