Temporary Modular Buildings are defined as factory-built commercial structures installed for temporary use, not upon a permanent foundation. These buildings are meant to be relocated at a future date and are typically viewed as personal property. Permanent Modular Construction is defined as a method of building structures in a factory environment that are considered permanent (most often replacing typical site-built applications) and are place on permanent foundations. These buildings are typically designed for sale or finance lease and are considered real property. Renovated Reuse is defined as a reconfiguration of an existing factory-built commercial structure to meet the needs of an application that is different from its original design. Renovated Reuse can be applied to all applications in either the temporary or permanent categories.

Single-Wide are defined as structures designed and constructed for any purpose and intended to remain mobile. These are typically "stock" units designed for short duration deployment. Education is defined as structures designed and constructed for educational purposes. These buildings can be utilized in K-12 applications, daycare centers, college and universities, and technical and private schools and may be classrooms, administrative buildings, and any other building with an education-related use. Office is defined as structures that are designed and constructed for non-education, non-retail administrative applications. Examples include general, corporate, and municipal offices; as well as sheriff's offices that have no detaining facilities. Retail or Hospitality is defined as structures designed for face-to-face interaction with the general public. Typical installations include restaurants, clubhouses, real estate sales centers, convenience stores, barber/beauty shops, automobile dealerships, concession stands, banks, and medical facilities. Healthcare is defined as structures designed for medical or dental applications. Examples include doctor and dentist offices, operating rooms, hospital extensions, medical research labs, magnetic resonance imaging centers, emergency room additions, and therapeutic and counseling centers. Institutional and Assembly is defined as structures designed and constructed for a variety of purposes where people assemble, are housed, or are detained. Typical installations include, churches, libraries, correctional facilities, work-force housing, hotels, apartments, and dormitories. Special Application is defined as factory-built commercial structures that do not qualify for any of the applications defined above. Typical installations include mobile laboratories, telecommunications shelters, and guard kiosks. Greatest Revision from Original highlights the versatility of modular construction and is defined as structures made up of reused modular units. This category focuses on the ability to revise the layout and functionality of the building to meet a current application.

For MBI members, green building entries must be actual buildings of any type and should show considerable improvement over typical modular buildings in certain contest-defined "green" areas. For students, green building entries are conceptual, are limited to the current project type and client described in the contest rules, and should show considerable improvement over typical modular buildings in certain contest-defined "green" areas.
