“These projects truly show the innovation and flexibility that modular construction offers,” said Britco president Mike Ridley.
“We’re very pleased that the Modular Building Institute recognized the hard work of Britco’s design and construction team.”
Entries were reviewed by an impartial panel of industry and non-industry construction and code experts, architects and engineers, and marketing professionals. Building entries were judged on architectural excellence, technical innovation and sustainability, cost effectiveness, energy efficiency and calendar days to complete.
