Modular construction has been gaining popularity in the US and European markets. The industry has been adopting new materials and digital technologies that enhance design, improve productivity in manufacturing and facilitate logistics. These new technologies are focusing on sustainability, renewability, aesthetics, and appeal to the higher end of the market.
Modular construction occurs simultaneously with site work and foundation building, resulting in a 30-50% reduction of the time it takes to complete a project. It has also been shown to protect the environment with less than 5% waste compared to 15% in typical stick-built construction, and yields a tighter, more energy-efficient build.
