Course Overview
Modular construction is rapidly gaining recognition across Canada as a faster and more efficient way to build.
It is a construction project delivery process that involves the planning, design, plant fabrication, delivery, and installation of multiple three-dimensional modules. Once assembled at the project site, the modules form a complete building or a part of a building.
This course highlights the differences between modular and conventional building processes and provides an overview of the CSA Group standards that are applicable to modular construction.
This course update has been funded by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development (MLITSD).
