Explain what is meant by modular construction, giving one benefit of this construction type over traditional site base construction.

• Modular construction involves prefabricating building sections off-site and assembling them on-site; one benefit is faster construction time compared to traditional site-based construction.

• Modular construction is a method where all building work is done on-site; one benefit is increased labor requirements.

• Modular construction uses only traditional materials; one benefit is higher costs.

• Modular construction eliminates the need for any on-site work; one benefit is reduced flexibility.
