Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
From large-scale projects to prefabricated buildings to modular office buildings, the modular construction business is booming. In fact, the global modular building construction market is expected to grow to 67.04 billion dollars by the end of this year, at a CAGR of 7.1 percent.
A major share of this growth can be attributed to the increasing use of building information modeling (BIM) in the modular construction space. BIM is greatly aiding modular construction workers by providing insights into the project before it begins and offering tools to plan the design successfully. Besides, it also makes the precise measurements of prefabricated modules available for sub-contractors or a third-party delivering windows or doors to make everything fit flawless when delivered on-site.
To put the spotlight on this innovative development and many others in the industry, Construction Business Review features thought leadership articles by Andy Mest, Managing Director of Preconstruction and Offsite Construction at Greystar, Laura Smith, Virtual Construction Specialist at Miron Construction, and Will Adams, Emerging Technologies Developer of Mortenson, among others who shed light on the virtual technology and other smart innovation can take modular construction to the next level.
