As modular construction continues to evolve, so do homeowner expectations-especially when it comes to comfort and indoor air quality. With today’s high-performance modular homes being built tighter and more energy efficient than ever, proper ventilation and air circulation are no longer optional-they’re essential. 

The modular manufacturing industry is booming, promising faster, more efficient, and sustainable construction. But this growth hinges on a critical factor: a resilient supply chain. In an era of global uncertainty, overcoming supply chain disruptions is no longer just a competitive advantage; it's the key to project success. The global modular construction market, valued at USD 112.54 billion in 2025, is projected to reach USD 214.76 billion by 2034, representing a robust CAG

At B&T Manufacturing, innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of how we approach modular construction. Every project is an opportunity to solve real-world challenges while pushing the limits of what’s possible in offsite manufacturing.

Modular construction is rapidly transforming the industry by offering solutions to rising costs, labor shortages, and demands for speed and sustainability. This blog explores key factors fueling this shift: accelerated project timelines, improved quality and consistency through factory production, significant waste reduction, and enhanced design flexibility driven by technology like BIM and AI. Modular building is reshaping the future of construction.

In the face of rapid urbanization and increasing demands for sustainable building practices, the construction industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation. One of the most promising solutions emerging is modular construction, particularly its application in urban high-rise development. This approach offers a compelling blend of accelerated timelines, enhanced precision, and environmental responsibility, making it a game-changer for real estate developers, modular factory

In modular housing, space isn’t just a luxury—it’s a core part of the design challenge. Every square foot needs to be used efficiently, and every system installed must complement the home’s structure without compromising layout or aesthetics. HVAC is often one of the biggest hurdles in that equation. Traditional systems rely on large ductwork and bulky components that require soffits, dropped ceilings, or rerouted framing. These solutions can interrupt the flow of your design

The modular manufacturing industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by the demand for faster, more efficient, and sustainable construction solutions. As developers, factory owners, general contractors, and investors navigate this dynamic landscape, the importance of strategic pipeline development cannot be overstated. A robust pipeline, fueled by effective collaboration, clear communication, strategic networking, proactive business development, and impactful marke

Modular construction is redefining how we approach building projects. By moving key stages of construction into a factory-controlled environment, we’re seeing significant gains in speed, cost savings, and quality control. As demand increases for efficient and reliable construction methods, off-site building has emerged as a scalable solution. Within this sector, two primary approaches stand out: “volumetric” and “panelized” construction.

Instead of the industrial gray panels that have defined residential electrical boxes for decades (a design holdover from post-WWII surplus paint), Leviton introduced a sleek white, solar-ready panel that’s functional, efficient, and homeowner-friendly. With options for 20, 30, 42, and even 66 circuits, the load center is built for modern scalability.

Offsite or modular construction is at the forefront of this revolution, offering a compelling alternative to traditional stick-built methods. As developers, factory owners, contractors, and investors increasingly embrace off-site builds, the need for innovative and high-performance HVAC solutions becomes paramount.

In today’s modular home market, energy efficiency isn’t just a bonus—it’s a must. This growing demand is driving more manufacturers to explore HVAC solutions that keep ductwork within the conditioned envelope of the home. Traditional ductwork—often routed through attics or crawl spaces—sits outside the thermal boundary and can lose up to 15% to 20% of the air it carries.

In this third installment of our Leviton series, we dive into the heart of the home: the kitchen. And today’s focus? The Decora Evolve Wiring Device Platform—a system designed to empower both builders and homeowners with smarter, simpler electrical upgrades.

Achieving high-performance, energy-efficient homes requires deliberate planning, making a HERS Rater (US) or Energy Advisor (Canada) crucial for your pre-construction team. These experts provide vital insights from day one, modeling performance, testing airtightness, and offering guidance to avoid costly errors. They ensure code compliance and help builders navigate complex energy decisions, leading to smarter, more resilient, and environmentally responsible outcomes.
