Why Modular Housing?

Sustainability
Modular construction offers several environmental benefits, including reducing job site waste, minimizing waste material to landfill, and reducing transportation emissions.

Savings
While design fees and initial startup costs can potentially be higher, modular construction often saves costs overall with reduced build time, lower project and contract management fees, and lower labor costs.

Time Efficiency
Modular construction can shorten project timelines as there are efficiencies from working within a factory line. It also allows for construction and site work to happen simultaneously.

Quality Control
Fabricating modules in a factory can lead to better quality control, fewer defects, and reduce the impact of weather and other environmental factors, leading to better finishes and construction standards. Sequencing and staging of construction can occur differently than traditional on-site construction and can improve the quality of construction.

Safety
Working in a factory is often safer for workers than being on a construction site. The controlled environment means fewer accidents due to weather and working at heights. It can also reduce the amount of travel time for workers to remote locations.
