Five stories high & rising: Why building up is better than building out

By Bob Schieler

It’s well known that most podium buildings are typically 4-over-1, meaning they can only have four stories of wood over a concrete/steel podium or crawlspace. But what you might not know is that our approach to volumetric modular construction allows for one additional floor, or 5-over-1. And when you build up, you can save more (and make more) than when you build out.

What can ruin a modular project? The answers might surprise you
