Where Modular Actually Saves Money—and Where It Doesn't


Listen Later

Where does modular construction actually save money—and where doesn't it?

The cost story in modular is more complicated than "cheaper because factory." Some costs go down. Some go up. Some just move. If you don't understand the real cost structure, you'll mis-price the deal.

Topics covered:

  • Why factory labor savings are real but smaller than pitched
  • Where the real money lives: schedule compression and carry costs
  • Hidden costs: transportation, site work, coordination burden
  • Why repetition—not modular itself—drives the economics

For developers and capital partners underwriting modular deals.
