With a few exceptions, construction suffers from inefficiencies that detrimental not only to clients&#8217; time and money, but the well-being of the environment. Material waste, high labor costs, long construction times and onerous levels of maintenance are just a few of the many consequences of today\u2019s outdated building practices. It&#8217;s no wonder,then, many are arguing for modular construction to overhaul the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If carried out successfully, modular construction has the potential to revolutionize the building process, with factory-controlled quality, reduced construction schedules and a smarter use of materials make it considerably more sustainable than conventional techniques. The following A+Award-winning projects were composed using this increasingly popular construction method, proving that the functionality of modular construction does not have to mean compromising on design:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-57400 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-1024x768.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1535&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635949528ef90f9fb-scaled.jpg?resize=66%2C50&amp;ssl=1 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-57422 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-1024x767.jpg?resize=1024%2C767&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C767&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1535&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1530635947901139b783-scaled.jpg?resize=66%2C50&amp;ssl=1 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/cherokee-residence\/?_ga=2.139706548.606716518.1578322175-256455616.1560182206\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cherokee Residence<\/strong><\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/reddymade-design-llc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reddymade<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/livinghomes-plantprefab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LivingHomes | Plant Prefab<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Jury and Popular Vote winner in the <a href=\"https:\/\/awards.architizer.com\/winners-gallery\/?utm_source=content&amp;utm_medium=architizer_blog&amp;utm_campaign=early-entry&amp;utm_content=article-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 A+Awards<\/a>, the Cherokee Residence is comprised of six modules on two levels that form the primary living spaces, custom built stair volume, garage, and guest annex.
