Construction & Field
What is Modular Construction?
Modular construction builds complete volumetric units — whole rooms or apartment modules, finished inside and out — in a factory, then stacks and connects them on site. It is prefabrication taken to its logical extreme.
In practice
Modular compresses schedules and improves quality control but demands early design freeze and repeatable layouts, which is why multifamily, hotels, and student housing lead adoption.
