Concept information

Preferred term

modular construction  

Definition(s)

  • Modular construction is an industrialized approach to building. Unlike conventional site-built construction, where thousands of elemental parts (e.g., lumber, nails, plywood, plumbing components, electrical components, windows, doors, shingles, siding, insulation, drywall, flooring) are delivered to each construction site, modular construction utilizes large, three-dimensional, factory-built modules for building.
