Modular companies are growing by leaps and bounds, but finding a way to incorporate vertical transportation quickly and smoothly was always a sticking point. It is true that modular building is the future. It just makes sense as it means a high-quality project completed in a greener and safer way. But one of the biggest selling points with modular is the speed in which the project can be completed. Typically when you place traditional construction on a timeline after the permits and financing is set, the ground has to be prepped, the foundation poured and infrastructure for the building brought in. Months tick by. Meanwhile, despite the project being totally ready to go, the building will make it no further than the drawing board until the site is completely ready. Modular takes all of the waiting out of the process as the building can begin as the site is being prepped, so when the location is ready, modular units are ready to be immediately swung into place. It is estimated that modular building can reduce time significantly as construction of the modular components can occur simultaneously with the site and foundation work. This means projects can be completed 30% to 50% sooner than traditional construction. There was just one problem The modular process does speed things up incredibly fast in comparison, but there has been a huge fly in the ointment. Read the full article
