About

Modular construction is a methodological approach within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain that involves the off-site fabrication of building components or volumetric units in a controlled factory environment, followed by their transportation and assembly at the final construction site. This concept investigates the optimization of design, manufacturing, logistics, and on-site integration processes, characterized by standardization, repeatability, and parallel workflow execution. Its significance lies in potential improvements in construction speed, cost efficiency, quality control, safety, and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional site-built methods.
