The Importance of Design in Modular Construction

The success of a modular project depends significantly on its design phase. It is crucial to collaborate closely with the factory during this period. Proper design enables the factory to complete more of the project off-site, reducing on-site construction needs. Many buildings can be built modularly with substantial on-site work, but the key is to design projects in a way that maximizes work done in the factory.

Projects that require modifications, such as unique roof pitches or siding schemes, often lead to removing elements that normally can be completed in the factory. The challenge lies in maximizing what can be done at the factory. Over the years, the most successful modular projects have been those designed around maximizing the factory's capabilities.
