What comes first, the Lego bricks or the Lego master?
The modular construction movement is trying to figure out this very same issue. What comes first, is it the modules or the modular design? Construction already uses modular or unitized building materials as its basis for the design. Whether you are dealing with literal brick, lumber, plywood, or piping we use predictable sizes and shapes that complement each other and fit together well.
The big question is, how do we encourage more companies to go into modular building components?
Eddie and Tyler dive into an interesting discussion this week based on a blog post Eddie has been working on.

May 20, 2020 Keeping Glass & Glazing Contractors Safe (feat. Steven Brooks)
Let’s make the robots do the hard work. Why do we expect glass and glazing contractors to lift heavy sheets of glass into place, and we don’t expect steelworkers to carry around beams and columns? This week, we talk to Steven Brooks about the Smart Lift. The Smart Lift can increase longevity for glaziers in the glass industry and decrease injuries on the job site. We also chat about autonomy in the glass and glazing industry, and why it won’t be replacing people any time soon. Also, Eddie shows us what the Amish do when they need to move something heavy. It's pretty spectacular. Check it out in the link below!
