@Chaithra Kumar I have some experience with modular construction. I built my own home I. Alexandria, VA as a modular home. I think this is the way to go. My construction time was only four months and I could easily have cut that down to two months.

I am currently helping a client with a 20 unit apartment complex in DC. We are in the initial design phase. In order to make your project efficient the modular units have to be built in the factory as much as possible. Site work should be limited and that will depend on the design and finishes.

There will also be parts that have to be constructed on site so there needs to be lots of coordination in both the design and construction phase. The design has to start with modular in mind. Don’t think any design can be turned into a modular unit because it will cost too much money.

There is so much to go over I would be happy to do it over a phone call.
