Project Description:
Modular Container Temporary SFR: A devastating wildfire on November 8, 2018, struck Butte County, California and shortly later hit the town of Paradise.

WHY MODULAR CONSTRUCTION IS GAINING NOTICE?
Modular housing decreases construction time almost to half and the overall expenses by 10 to 20 percent. A small crew of moderately skilled workers can deliver the construction task in a climate-controlled installation rather than utilizing about 22 separate trades of professions that contribute to conventional home construction, using the same building codes and standards. These structures are manufactured in modules or small parts, which are delivered and mounted at the final construction site. Modular construction is gaining popularity as a potential answer to housing shortage and soaring housing and construction expenses. There are two main branches in this trade; Permanent versus Relocatable Buildings. (Read More)
