Modular construction is intuitively appealing and the productivity gains could be valuable...especially in the non-market sector. In Canada and US, the price of new housing, either rental or ownership, is dictated by market conditions much than the cost of construction. One thing not really mentioned in the article that could help boost modular is the lower environmental impact...if there were financial incentives for low impact construction. Some of this is related to energy efficiency and the environmental impact of materials, but there are other things like the vehicle miles driven to a building site with conventional construction (compared to modular).

What do you think of when you hear the words "Affordable Housing"? Do you picture a house that would look nice sitting next to YOUR house? Do you automatically assume that affordable housing is for people other than you? Perhaps you picture high density housing that is far away from where you would ever see it. Already, the term "affordable housing" has a negative connotation---we agree society needs it, but it can't be attractive or high quality. Why not? I read on a homebuilding website that they build DECENT, affordable homes. That is an interesting sales pitch. We build AMAZING affordable homes. That's our sales pitch. #beautifulaffordablehousing #smartbuilding #housingcrisis We are looking for developers to work with Zona Verde. Message here or through the website. www.zonaverdeinc.com Making affordable homes beautiful for everyone, anywhere.

A great overview article on modular by the NYT, though it barely scratches the surface of the opportunity!! We have been supporting clients in the space for a number of years alongside with our Scandinavian team (shoutout to the amazing Sarah Sipilä ). There is opportunity for all types of modular to thrive in the US (wood/metal, volumetric/panelized, etc) because of the rich variety of climates, terrains, codes, tenant needs… It is discouraging to see modular adoption rates in the US lag behind Scandinavia and Japan, and one of the factors is regulation: “U.S. building codes dictate the thickness of drywall that must be used for fire resistance, how many layers are needed and how many nails are required to attach it. In Sweden, the code requires that a wall must resist burning for two hours, say, and lets engineers and manufacturers figure out how to accomplish that. The regulator’s job is to check the engineer’s work.” … while we wait for more favorable regulation (and Tom Hardiman, CAE and the MBI team have been making great strides here!), the next thing we need to change owner owner and tenant perception to drive demand. Articles like this go along way towards improving the reputation of modular construction in the mass market (#notatrailerpark!) though it would’ve been nice to see more US successes celebrated outside of affordable housing… There are lots of great case studies in hospitality and medical (and single family) that do not look or feel “cheap”, but benefited from shorter times to market. (And #timeismoney) If you’re considering investing in #modular construction, do reach out! 🧱🏗️💵 https://lnkd.in/eePr_5QV

Want a new construction home? You may need to look a little smaller to stay in budget. But there is a silver lining: builders are focused on smaller homes right now, offering incentives, and including features that matter most for quality of living. https://lnkd.in/g8eDF-m3 #sellingavl #newconstruction #smallerliving #qualityoflife

Everywhere in the world there is a severe shortage of housing. Construction practices are antiquated and inefficient, therefore not providing the needed number of homes Use Modular Building System to Ramp up Production and deliver much faster than conventional construction. #housingshortage #affordablehousing #scaleproduction #innovationinbuildingconstruction #skilledworkershortage

It is interesting to see the impact of listening… or the consequences of choosing not to… what might happen if experts in construction and innovators were able to work together? Could it address the current housing crisis?
Homes made in factories were supposed to save us from the housing crisis, but the companies that make them are failing
