Podcast: Built Modular

Key points:

• Permanent modular constructed buildings look and operate the same as traditionally constructed structures. 
• Modular buildings must meet all the same codes and requirements as traditional construction. 
• Modular buildings can be customized and upgraded to meet aesthetic and use needs.

Key points:

• The story of modular construction dates back hundreds of years.
• Over the last 50 years, modular has become more accepted.
• The future will bring modular construction to more sectors.

Key points:

• Digital twins place an exact model of a real-world part in a virtual space for analysis
• These twins empower manufacturers to evaluate performance and more before producing a part or product at scale.
• In modular construction, it's been used to understand what finished spaces are going to look like and much more.

Key points:

• BOXX Modular helps schools deal with space issues with temporary buildings.
• Modular buildings can function in the same way as stick-built ones.
• Districts benefit from leasing portable classrooms as capacity needs fluctuate.

Key points:

• BOXX Modular has nine steps in its modular building construction process.
• Its experience not only in manufacturing but in working with local governing bodies allows for a quicker turnaround time than many competitors.
• Communication throughout the process between client, sales and operations is key.
