Modular construction refers to offsite building construction under controlled factory setting conditions. Unlike a “stick-built” structure that is built piece by piece, modular structures are produced in “modules” or separate sections. Permanent modular buildings and relocatable modular buildings are the main types of modular construction buildings.



Although the modular construction concept has been around for over 100 years, the unique opportunities of modular construction had been largely untapped until the revival of modular solutions, such as modular apartment buildings, modular construction hotels, modular classrooms, and modular office buildings.



The modular construction method uses the same building codes, raw materials, and standards applicable for traditionally built projects. Completed modules are transported to and assembled on site to fit with each other, with the same design intent and architectural specifications of the most advanced site-built facility.
