As interest in modular construction grows, construction professionals and regulators can benefit from a better understanding of the differences between modular and conventional buildings. CSA Group training, offered free of charge, explains modular design and construction, installation processes, and their impacts on various project participants.

This course reviews the stages of modular construction processes, best practices, general information, guidelines, and relevant standards. This information can be used by project parties and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) during the various stages of the project such as planning, permitting, and construction.
