Why modular construction fits high-cost custom markets
"Plant Prefab operates a 270,000-square-foot factory at Tejon Ranch, California, that the company says can produce more than 3 million square feet annually. Each project begins with a detailed digital manufacturing model integrating architectural, structural and mechanical systems."
"Glenn said combining modular and panelized construction is a fit for custom projects because many of the places where luxury homes are built have high labor costs and limited skilled trades."
"Plant Prefab's latest corporate sustainability report says the process reduces waste per square foot of production by about 40%. The company also points to energy-efficient systems and fire-resistant materials in its designs."
"There's this incredible market discontinuity, Glenn said. The places where custom projects are happening urban infill, mountain home communities and second-home communities all share the same characteristics of high land and labor costs and scarce labor."
Modular and panelized construction is increasingly utilized in the luxury homebuilding sector, providing faster delivery and fewer coordination issues. Plant Prefab, a California-based company, focuses on custom single-family homes in high-demand areas with high labor costs. Their factory can produce over 3 million square feet annually, utilizing detailed digital models to minimize waste and conflicts. The company emphasizes sustainability, reducing waste by 40% and incorporating energy-efficient systems and fire-resistant materials, making it suitable for rebuilding in fire-affected regions.
