Modular and Offiste Construction: Role of the Architect

{"version":"0.3.0","atoms":[],"cards":[],"markups":[["u"]],"sections":[[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Prefabrication, modularization, offsite and industrialized construction are increasingly being used as strategies to address mounting supply chain challenges, labor shortages, and escalating costs. The market for factory-based construction continues to raise in the U.S., especially in muti-family housing, as developers seek alternatives to conventual delivery models. The approaches are also evolving. This type of construction changes the planning and procurement processes, and therefore the scope of various projects team members.
