Modular buildings are structures that are constructed off-site in sections, known as modules, then transported and assembled at the final location. This approach allows for faster construction times, greater quality control, and less disruption at the building site. Modular buildings can be used for various purposes, including offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and residential homes. They are often considered more sustainable and cost-effective compared to traditional construction methods.
