Modular construction, of course, means many of a building’s parts are prefabricated off-site for assembly onsite. That may have once been the case, but today’s modular builds offer flexibility in design and aesthetic elements to yield the quality and style that builders and clients seek. Getting it right on site.

Prefabrication has a very long history. For example, after the second world war Prime Minister Winston Churchill saw the method as key to solving the UK’s housing crisis – which led to the construction of 150,000 prefabricated houses by 1951. Manufacturing off-site in a controlled environment is safer and more sustainable.
