Modular Construction: A Smart, Faster, Greener Approach
Modular construction, championed by MBI, revolutionizes building processes. It involves constructing buildings off-site under controlled conditions, using the same materials and the same codes as traditional construction but in nearly half the time. This method is not only faster, but also greener, reducing waste and site disturbances. Modular buildings, once assembled, are indistinguishable from their site-built counterparts, showcasing the sophistication and capability of modern construction techniques.
