Modular construction is changing how developers build at scale, yet clear, independent information can be hard to find. We have gathered respected research, studies, and guides from leading industry and government sources in one place.
Explore the data behind modular building and see how gains in speed and reductions in cost can strengthen the returns on your next development, wherever you build.
Fannie Mae and the Modular Building Institute built this toolkit to help multifamily lenders, developers, and stakeholders take on their first modular project with confidence, covering how modular construction works and the state of the multifamily modular industry.
This study compared two wood-framed multifamily housing projects in the mountain-west United States, measuring waste by framed square footage. It found that off-site framing reuses wood cut-offs more effectively and achieves greater material circularity than site-built framing.
The CSA Public Policy Centre's report, Seizing the Modular Construction Opportunity, shows how modular methods can bring building forms online faster, from single-unit housing to complex high-rises, reaching completion rates 25% to 50% faster than conventional approaches.
The multifamily construction industry is central to delivering affordable, zero-carbon housing across the United States. Building construction and operation account for 37% of global carbon emissions, and the United States needs about 3.8 million more housing units, so the pressure to act is real.
The International Code Council worked with the Modular Building Institute to answer common questions about the off-site construction industry. Written for seasoned professionals and newcomers alike, it is a useful starting point for anyone learning about modular building codes and regulations.
For decades, construction has trailed other sectors in productivity, and McKinsey sees a major opportunity for a step change ahead. That change moves much of the building activity from traditional on-site projects to off-site, manufacturing-style production, an approach drawing fresh interest.
Modular construction is steadily reshaping how architects approach design, and early collaboration between architects and fabricators lets modular projects meet a wide range of client needs. Modular building offers real value to owners and project teams, explored further by the American Institute of Architects.
