dc.description.abstractThe primary purpose of this thesis is to explain the benefits and limitations of modular construction as it pertains to primarily wood-frame, multifamily housing in the United States. This thesis attempts to educate the consumer/builder/developer about what the modular construction process entails from beginning to end. Long term demographic trends point to a steady and increasing need for housing production. Decreasing development yields and increasing construction costs and regulations are making it more difficult for the market to meet this need. It is the authors' goal that the knowledge contained in this thesis helps to introduce developers to the basic issues involved in this relatively underutilized but potentially beneficial process.en_US
