Prefab or modular construction can be the solution to eliminate risk and changeability on construction projects. With the use of this construction method, contractors can avoid the possible impacts of fickle weather, transportation glitches and jobsite staging challenges — if the process, from start to finish, is well thought out. Prefabrication demands planning down to the smallest detail, and Differing site conditions, material availability or consideration of every possible project threat. design considerations, no matter how small the dissee PREFAB page 48
