A VP of Construction search in Kansas City took 28 days to fill in 2026, the longest of any placement in this year’s data, across any role or market. A Director of Construction search in Tampa took 24. Both are outliers even against a backdrop where leadership roles already move slower than the rest of […]

Construction pay in 2026 has less to do with job title than it does with zip code. A Superintendent overseeing a mid-rise project in Indianapolis and one running a similar job in Boston can be separated by more than $60,000 a year—same scope, same responsibilities, wildly different budget lines. For builders planning headcount for the […]

Modular construction has crossed a threshold. What was, for most of the past century, a delivery method associated with temporary buildings, budget constraints, and architectural compromise has become a sophisticated global industry attracting serious capital, engineering talent, and developer commitment across every major construction market in the world. The modular construction market trends shaping the industry […]

Building a modular construction company is one thing. Scaling it is another challenge entirely. The firms that have successfully grown in this sector have learned that modular construction companies growth requires a fundamentally different operational model than conventional construction—one that blends manufacturing discipline, real estate fluency, and the relationship infrastructure of the development industry. The modular […]

The financial case for modular construction is more nuanced than it first appears, and more compelling than the skeptics suggest. The common framing of modular versus conventional construction as a simple per-square-foot cost comparison misses most of what actually drives project economics. When total development cost is the measure—including financing, schedule, labor, waste, and risk—modular […]

School districts across the United States are facing a convergence of pressures that conventional construction is struggling to address. Aging facilities need replacement. Enrollment growth in suburban and exurban communities is outpacing classroom supply. State and federal infrastructure funding is creating construction pipelines that exceed local contractor capacity. And academic calendars create hard delivery deadlines […]

Modular construction has proven itself convincingly at low and mid-rise scale. Hotels, apartment buildings, student housing, and healthcare facilities have been delivered across the country using factory-built methods, with documented results on speed, cost, and quality. The frontier that still challenges engineers, developers, and contractors is the high-rise, buildings that rise above ten, twenty, or […]

The apartment development industry is under pressure from every direction. Housing demand continues to outpace supply in most major U.S. markets, construction costs remain elevated, financing is expensive, and the skilled labor shortage on conventional job sites shows no signs of resolving. Modular apartment buildings have emerged as one of the most compelling responses to this […]

Healthcare systems across the United States are under pressure to expand capacity, replace aging facilities, and open new outpatient locations, all while managing constrained capital budgets and construction timelines that directly affect patient access. Modular hospital construction has moved from an experimental delivery method to a proven strategy for meeting that challenge. Prefabricated hospitals and healthcare […]

The demand for data center capacity has never grown faster, and traditional construction methods are struggling to keep up. Hyperscale operators, colocation providers, and enterprise IT teams all face the same pressure: get more computing infrastructure online, faster, without sacrificing reliability or breaking capital budgets. Modular data center construction has emerged as the dominant response to […]
