Beside these benefits, modular projects also boast a higher ROI, less material waste during construction, and fewer delays.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, according to a National Institute of Building Sciences report, \u201cCompared with traditional construction, permanent modular projects have statistically fewer change orders, which makes the design\/construction process go smoother and faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How MBI can help your company<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s a key contact we can introduce to you or a best practice you can learn at one of our events.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your need, MBI is dedicated to helping your company realize all the benefits of modular.<\/p>\n<h3>A closer look<\/h3>\n<p>The charts below detail how architects\/engineers, GCs\/CMs, and trade contractors measure the top impacts of modular.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-139819 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-845x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-845x1024.png 845w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-248x300.png 248w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-768x931.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-696x843.png 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-347x420.png 347w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph-610x739.png 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MBI-Graph.png 954w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Mark your calendar!<\/h3>\n<p>Our recent 2024 World of Modular conference and expo was an AMAZING success with attendees and speakers from around the world!
