How do you connect modular units into a functional building? The corridor and core strategy is where projects succeed or fail.

This episode tackles one of modular's trickiest design decisions—how to handle horizontal and vertical circulation when your dwelling units ship as complete modules.

Topics covered:

• Corridor modules vs. field-built corridors: the trade-offs
• Why shipping corridor modules means shipping air—and when that's still worth it
• Fire-rating challenges at module-to-module connections
• Core strategy: modular cores vs. site-built elevator shafts and stair towers
• How labor market costs should drive your corridor and core decisions

There's no single right answer—but there is a wrong one: assuming this strategy will figure itself out. It won't.
