We’ve shown you what a module looks like as it rolls off the line, but have you ever wondered just how complete it is when it ships to the site? 🤔 Take a look for yourself as Caitlin O. Bigelow gives you a tour of a module fresh from our factory floor. 🏗️ 👀 From flooring and tile to appliances and paint, 90% of the module is complete before it even leaves the factory. Electrical and mechanical systems are installed, and plumbing is ready to connect seamlessly on-site. It’s a level of completion that surprises most people, but this is the power of modular construction. And it’s how we deliver projects up to 50% faster. 💪 #BuildingTheFuture #ModularInnovations #Insights #Modular #Construction #ProjectCompletion
