Permanent Modular Construction (PMC)

What is permanent modular construction?

Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) is an alternative, innovative, sustainable construction delivery method utilizing offsite, lean manufacturing techniques to prefabricate single or multi-story whole building solutions.  This offsite method takes the construction process away from the exposed site location to a controlled plant environment where it is fabricated with care, control and less environmental impact.  PMC modules can be integrated into site-built projects or stand alone as a turn-key solution and can be delivered with MEP, fixtures and interior finishes in less time — with less waste, and higher quality control compared to projects utilizing only site-built construction. 

PMC can offer any level of customization and complexity from a single-story office suite to a multi-story office complex; from a quick service restaurant to a medical imaging center.
