Modular constructions are sectional prefabricated buildings,or houses, that consist of multiple sections called modules.The modules are six sided boxes constructed in a remotefacility, then delivered to their intended site of use. Using acrane, the modules are set onto the building's foundationand joined together to make a single building. The modulescan be placed side-by-side, end-to-end, or stacked, allowinga wide variety of configurations and styles in the buildinglayout.
