The Modular Solution
Commercial modular construction is quickly becoming a preferred construction delivery method due to its inherent “green” construction methods, design flexibility, speed of delivery, quality of construction, and its ability to shorten the construction cycle and help control costs. The management team at Wesbuilt Modular, LLC has over 35 years of construction industry experience, with over 25 years dedicated to modular construction. This unique combination of industry experience enables us to offer our clients whatever level of modular services they require for their project, from pre-planning or building systems consulting to a complete turnkey project.

Traditional vs Modular Construction
Modular construction can reduce the traditional site-built construction schedule by up to 50% through the use of simultaneous construction.
While the sitework is being completed and the foundation installed, the building is being constructed in the factory.
The result is a significant time savings, which translates to cost savings for the developers.
“Prefabrication and modular construction processes have been used for years, but today, with the emergence of new technologies and construction practices, we have the ability to utilize these strategies to create innovative and quality buildings, while also improving construction productivity,” said Harvey Bernstein, Vice President of Industry Insights and Alliances at McGraw-Hill Construction. “These reported productivity benefits of prefabrication and modularization are particularly exciting in today’s economy given the benefits of creating superior buildings while saving cost, time and waste.”
Keys to a Successful Modular Project
According to the McGraw-Hill SmartMarket Report, Prefabrication and Modularization: Increasing Productivity in the Construction Industry, the number one reason for an unsuccessful project is the lack of a team member with modular experience.
Early decision to commit to modular construction.
Utilize architect
with modular design experience.
Complete project team buy in to the use of modular construction.
Early adoption of modular design criteria.
Include an experienced modular general contractor.
