Modular construction has transformed the building industry by offering a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective method of constructing buildings. In contrast to traditional construction, where structures are built on-site, modular construction involves creating sections or “modules” of a building in a factory setting. These modules are then transported to the construction site and assembled into
