? Modular FAQ Time ??How tall can you build with modular construction? Who better to answer than VBC’s VP of Design, Sara Ann Logan? Sara has been around the block (pun intended) when it comes to designing massive structures around the globe. This week, we’re covering the vast possibilities of modular construction, plus: ???Are high end finishes possible with modular? ???Are the codes the same for modular and site-built?

? Modular FAQ Time ? Last week, we gave an inside look into how our factories function and how they contribute to the speed and efficiency of construction. This week, we’re invited VBC’s Chief Commercial Officer Dave Fetzer back to answer some more questions about the power behind these facilities! ?? How long does it take to build a building in a VBC factory? ?? How long does it take to set a modular building? ????How finished are the VBC modules? Dave’s got the answer to all of these today in this week’s Modular FAQ insight. #BuildingTheFuture #ModularInsights #ModularInnovations #FactoryInsights

Modular construction is fast—but where does that speed come from? ?? It all starts in the factory. VBC’s optimized production process keeps modules moving efficiently without sacrificing quality. Here’s how we do it. ?? #BuildingTheFuture #ModularInsights #ModularInnovations #FactoryInsights

?? Growing Your Architecture Practice with Modular Construction ?? Running an architecture firm is challenging—especially in today’s economy. But modular construction presents unique opportunities to streamline workflows, increase efficiency, and win more projects. We sat down with VBC’s VP of Design, Sara Ann Logan, to discuss how architects can successfully integrate modular into their practice. Here are five key strategies she shared: ? Partner with manufacturers – Your regional modular manufacturer can be a valuable marketing ally. Build that relationship! ? Speed up decision-making – Modular moves fast. Adjust your workflow to match its pace. ? Invest in technology – Efficiency = profitability. The more you can streamline, the better. ? Leverage new talent – With a surge of architecture grads entering the field, modular allows you to scale while mentoring junior talent. ? Be the problem solver – If it’s the right solution, recommend it. Diversifying your expertise can help you win more projects. #BuildingTheFuture #ModularInsights #ModularInnovations #FactoryInsights

? Modular FAQ Time ? We asked VBC’s Chief Commercial Officer Dave Fetzer one of the most common questions we get in the industry: Is modular less expensive than site built? The answer isn’t as simple as yes or no—it depends on factors like market, design, and location. Dave breaks it down in this video.

What has our Vice President of Construction learned after being involved in the installation of over 3,000 modules? A lot, obviously! Construction is all about the details—miss one, and it can cost time, money, and quality. Rob Schmalbach shares five critical lessons he’s learned: ?? Coordinating design upfront to prevent costly delays ?? Addressing scope gaps before they become issues ?? Mitigating water intrusion risks ?? Mastering the logistics of modular installation ?? Selecting the right general contractor for the job Watch the video to learn how experience shapes better builds! #BuildingTheFuture #ModularInsights #ModularInnovations #FactoryInsights

At all of VBC's factories, we’re constantly striving for improvement, and we track KPIs obsessively. Throughput is one of the most critical metrics for any factory. But numbers only improve when the people behind them show up, day in and day out, with commitment, reliability, and teamwork. No one embodies that better than Oliver Ayendi Garcia Castillo, who has shown up every single day since he was hired, except for a short leave to bond with his new baby. Consistency builds momentum. Dedication fuels progress. And people like Oliver make VBC what it is. ?????? Here’s to the ones who keep the wheels turning. Reliability is a skill, and Oliver is a master at it. ?? #Commitment #Manufacturing #Teamwork #VBC #Reliability #PeopleMakeTheDifference

If you need a pick-me-up today, here’s a good one for you. ? Maria Jose started as a cleaner, working along side her mom, Judith. (We shared her story earlier this week.) She transitioned to mudding on the factory floor. All the supervisors were quick to point out how good she was at mudding because she was clean and meticulous. She picked it up so quickly, now she's become one of the trainers. ??♀? Maria Jose, is emblematic of what's possible with hard work and a little grit and we're very grateful for everything she and the other amazing VBC employees bring to the factory every day. ?? P.S. Have you ever had a mentor or teammate who helped you level up? Tag them in the comments!

Earlier this week we posted about a homeless encampment in San Jose that caused a lot of headaches. Today, just two years later, on that same land there's transitional housing for 180 adults and 25 families. Here are the finished photos. Huge shout out to LifeMoves who carried the ambition, passion, and dedication to bring much needed change. We're thrilled to be apart of this success.
