Modular construction involves building large sections of a building, known as modules, in a factory setting. These modules are then transported to the construction site and assembled to form the final structure. This method is praised for its speed and efficiency since much of the work is completed indoors, away from the unpredictable conditions of […]

Modular construction offers unparalleled efficiency and precision, but transporting large, vital prefabricated components presents formidable logistical challenges. This is where modular transport services become invaluable.  Meticulous planning and execution are paramount when navigating the complexities of moving oversized modular structures. Some logistics providers, like Stream Modular, solely specialize in modular construction transportation while minimizing disruptions. […]

In today’s hectic construction industry, modular construction is proving to be a superior methodology for many project types. This approach isn’t just about constructing buildings; it’s about doing it smarter and greener.  With concerns growing about sustainability and finishing projects more efficiently, modular design is in the spotlight. If you’re interested in cutting down the […]

Summary: Construction transportation is a critical component of modular projects’ success. Sourcing proper trailers with experienced drivers are key to an efficient and successful project. State regulations must be understood, allowing for proper planning, including obtaining permits and hiring pilot cars . The logistics of construction transportation are a linchpin for any modular construction project’s […]

Summary: Japan is a long-time pioneer in module transport and building, with millions of manufactured buildings across the country. Japan’s modules are roughly six feet narrower than those in the U.S. on average, allowing for easier building and transport. Smaller modules allow for over double the production output on modular assembly lines. Modular, or manufactured, […]

Summary: Modular construction is a potential solution for affordable housing. Accelerated construction timelines, reduced costs, energy efficiency, and design flexibility make modular ideal for affordable housing projects. The modular community already has effective options in the affordable housing space. On-time deliveries are key to making affordable housing projects within scope. The affordable housing crisis has […]
