Permanent modular buildings can be designed to match existing structures, and after installation and finish-out are often indistinguishable from a completely site-built structures. Quality improvements are recognized through the factory assembly process which leads to greater efficiencies, consistency, and safety, while established protocols for receiving, rejecting, and storing materials also eliminate issues with poor or damaged components. Modular buildings utilize the same materials and is built to the same codes, standards, and architectural specifications as site construction methods. The vertical integration of many modular companies also provides for a greater degree of value engineering to meet a client's budget on a project. The approach provides for a more predictable and streamlined process with beter coodination to reduce costly mistakes and material waste. The modular building process can yield 10-25% lower design and construction costs and the compressed schedule helps reduce the overall project general conditions and financing required. Since the structure is being built in the factory and doesn't wait for the site preparation to take place or is subjected to weather delays, a permanent or relocatable modular building can be completed in 25-40% of the time required for typical site-built methods. The modular building process provides for a simultaneous overlap of the activities that take place off-site in the manufacturing plant and on-site while preparing the site for the building installation.
