"Modular construction is a manufacturing and installation technique that exports site-based work to an offsite location, compared to the conventional stick-built method taht constructs all or most systems onsite. Modular construction evolved from the offshore oil industry where entire production facilities had to be built in one or more large pieces for movement, setting, and installation on offshore platforms limited in size. The benefits of modular construction involve lowering costs, improving schedule performance, increased productivity, and improved quality"-- Provided by publisher.
