GOING MODULAR SERIES: FINAL NOTES AND EASY REFERENCE

Reading Time: 5 minutes
For the past month, we have dedicated our writings to inform you about the modular industry and how it could work for you. In this final newsletter, we provide an overview of these instructional guides, so you can save this email for easy-access reference when questions arise in the future. Below are overviews of the four previous newsletters, each with a link to the detailed article.
 
Class One: Modular Overview: Benefits and Challenges
 
If you can’t find skilled labor on a budget, perhaps you should consider modular. On average, you could earn three to five months’ worth of revenue (six figures!) while improving quality and coordination efforts by using offsite construction. But is modular really the best way to achieve high quality while staying on budget and on schedule? Find out answers to these general questions here.

Class Two: Going Modular: First Steps Q&A

At what point should you make the decision to go modular and with whom should you consult? What are modular boxes? How do you finance them? This Q&A should help you answer whether modular could be a good fit.

Class Three: Building low- and mid-rise: Does it make sense?

For any three to six story building, modular can be a great fit. For these low- to mid-rise structures, modular boxes with wood framing are widely preferred. These relatively lightweight units are quick to assemble and maintain high precision. Find out all about their production, shipping, and jobsite happenings in this Q&A.

Class Four: Building mid- to high-rise: Is it safe?

Buildings as high as 40 stories are assembled using manufactured construction. In such cases, special steel-framed modular boxes provide structural strength to the massive structure. Moreover, modular buildings can withstand earthquakes and storms. This Q&A describes the making, assembly, and nature of steel prefab construction.

The nitty-gritty of modular construction can be overwhelming to a lay person, but with the right partner you can stack up your next hotel hassle-free. Modz4 is the Modular Department of Base4, focused on all things Modular. Modz4 is also a member of the Modular Building Association—an international non-profit trade body that connects A/E professionals, manufacturers, suppliers, owners/developers, GCs, and dealers, working together to propel offsite construction.

This membership strengthens our commitment to the permanent modular construction industry. It also grants us access to powerful resources to stay ahead of the curve and provide well-informed, superior solutions.

 
With technologically advanced tools and talents, we never stop learning the best modular practices. We also believe in building meaningful partnerships. As your architects and engineers of record, we design your non-modular spaces and coordinate between your modular manufacturers and local officials, guiding you every step of the way. With our growing network of leading manufacturers, we strive to make modular work for you.
