Modular

Submitted by lhutson on Thu, 2010-06-24 10:29

Modern modular design, construction and furnishings save money and the environment.

Construction debris is #1 in volume added to U.S. landfills. Much of this debris comes from demolished or wasted drywall material, since about 12% of drywall is wasted during construction.

Several innovative companies have taken giant leaps forward in the design, manufacture and ongoing use of modular wall systems and furnishings. These systems, while costing a little more up front, garner huge savings over their useful lives. Starting with smart, scalable space design, changing, growing and shrinking with modular design will cost much less than a traditional, fixed office-drywall installations.

Go green, go modular, and save green.
