Modular building (Construction modulaire)

A modular building is a sectional prefabricated building that consists of multiple sections called modules. "Modular" is a method of construction. The modules are six sided boxes constructed in a plant, then delivered to their intended site of use. Using a crane, the modules are set onto foundations and joined together to make a building. The modules can be placed side-by-side, end-to-end, or stacked up, allowing a wide variety of configurations and styles in the building layout.
