Modular building is the growing trend of assembling structures from prefabricated, interchangeable components. After being constructed in a controlled environment away from the building site—such as a factory—the components are then transported to the final location and assembled on-site.
This growing collection of news, trends, case studies, white papers, and innovative projects bring you the latest in modular design and construction.
