This week’s Construction Record podcast features an interview with AA Jedson Company CEO Michael Bordes by Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce national managing editor Viince Versace about modular construction and prefab building trends in 2021.
Bordes says architects and engineers are coming to realize the advantages of modular construction, including substantial time savings compared to traditional construction methods. He also noted that architects are adding to the “base model” of a modular structure and adding their own flourishes and upgrades which add to their commercial appeal.
New designs are also allowing for tradework that normally would hang from walls and ceilings is going into floors which streamlines the building process, and Bordes also predicts low-rise and mid-rise multiple family dwellings will also start trending towards modular construction.
