What if work sites could have a ready-to-use, high quality, and cost-effective office in just a few days?

In this episode of Built Modular, host Michelle Dawn Mooney engages with Lynette Wooten, a seasoned transactional Sales Representative at BOXX Modular covering the dynamic territory of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

Referencing her day-to-day supplying general contractors and large-scale construction projects, Lynette sheds light on the flexibility, environmental benefits, and time-efficiency of mobile offices. From debunking misconceptions about modular construction to discussing the convenient relocation process, Lynette delivers crucial insights about mobile offices and their ability to enhance operational efficiency on project sites.

Lynette explores how choosing modular can streamline the process of your interior planning using her own hands-on experience. She discusses how she helps clients fully furnish their work spaces with all the necessary elements needed for a productive workspace, including kitchens, office furniture, and more, depending on the client's unique requirements.

If you're considering a mobile office trailer for your business' needs, Lynette concludes by exploring how you can get started. The process of acquiring a mobile office begins with an inquiry on the BOXX Modular website, where you can quickly and directly start interacting with a local sales rep, like Lynette, in your region. The result is an efficient delivery and setup process, taking only a few days for standard units.

In a comprehensive interview on the "Built Modular" podcast, Tom Hardiman, the Executive Director of the Modular Building Institute, joined host Michelle Dawn Mooney for an in-depth analysis of the state of modular construction in 2024 and the trends that could shape the industry in 2025.

Tom shed light on the remarkable growth of modular construction. He highlighted the industry's tripling market share over the last seven years and the strong demand from different sectors. He emphasized the substantial increase in modular construction use in healthcare, education, and housing—sectors pushed by a skills shortage in the construction industry and the critical need for affordable housing.

Looking ahead, Tom predicts increased production of modular buildings in various segments, including hospitality, education, healthcare, and especially multifamily homes. With the illustrious benefits of modular construction—speed, efficiency, and sustainability—he believes it's an invaluable tool to mitigate the housing shortage issue.

Despite its glowing potential, the modular construction industry has challenges to overcome. Regulatory barriers and outdated construction ideologies are among the major hurdles. Nevertheless, the reward looks promising—a brighter, more sustainable future marked by reduced construction waste and increased building efficiency.

Tom envisions this future as attainable, especially if governments and builders fully embrace the potential of off-site and modular constructions. He sees it as an opportunity to streamline construction processes, spur regional economic growth, and provide affordable, quality housing.
