Ninety percent of contractors, specialty contractors and modular builders using prefabrication or modular construction who were surveyed by Dodge Data & Analytics said they improved productivity, achieved better quality and increased schedule certainty when using prefabrication and modular construction methods, compared to traditional construction methods. That’s according to DDA’s new SmartMarket report, “Prefabrication and Modular Construction 2020.”
The new report updates a 2011 report that looked only at prefabrication. The 2020 version shows that attitudes and interest in both techniques have increased considerably in the last nine years. DDA surveyed 176 general contractors and construction managers, 219 specialty and trade contractors and 15 modular builders and manufacturers, all of whom were already using some form of modular construction or prefabrication.
