The commonly held view is that by moving construction labor activities to fabrication yards rather than performing them at the project site, capital project performance outcomes can be improved in terms of worker safety and cost and schedule effectiveness. Modular construction allows owner companies to work around the challenges associated with the lack of skilled construction labor in some locations.
