Modular construction can dramatically improve efficiency in construction, through factory production of pre-engineered building units and their delivery to the site either as entire buildings or as substantial elements. The required technology and application are developing rapidly, but design is still in its infancy.

More Description
Modular construction can dramatically improve efficiency in construction, through factory production of pre-engineered building units and their delivery to the site either as entire buildings or as substantial elements. The required technology and application are developing rapidly, but design is still in its infancy. Good design requires knowledge of modular production, installation, and interface issues as well as an understanding of the economics and client-related benefits that influence design decisions. Looking at eight recent projects, this guide offers coverage of all aspects of modular design.
