What type of construction is referred to when a building is assembled using pre-manufactured sections?

Modular construction is the correct term for buildings that are assembled using pre-manufactured sections. This method involves constructing sections of the building in a factory setting, where they are fabricated and then transported to the building site for assembly. This approach allows for greater efficiency, reduced construction time, and often lower costs due to the controlled environment of manufacturing.

In contrast, log homes typically involve using whole logs as the primary material for the structure, while post-and-beam construction emphasizes a framework of vertical posts and horizontal beams to support the building. Traditional construction refers to conventional building methods that typically involve on-site construction of walls, roofs, and other elements from materials such as lumber, masonry, or concrete. These methods do not specifically pertain to the use of pre-manufactured sections in the same way that modular construction does.
