“The one thing that I always say about modular is that it’s a blessing and a curse…for a successful modular project you have to work through so many things before the project can begin…The blessing is that you know what it’s going to cost if you effectively work through all those things...You have a lot more work to do, but if it’s done the right way you can hit that budget.”
