Planners Gathering: Shipping Container, Modular, Panel Structures and Homes

Prefabricated Steel: Shipping Container, Modular, and Panelized Construction for Housing and Commercial Development

Communities across the U.S. are exploring alternative construction methods to meet a growing demand for efficient, high quality, and cost predictable structures. Prefabricated steel solutions—such as shipping containers, modular building systems, and panelized assemblies—are increasingly discussed but often misunderstood in terms of viability, design flexibility, and code compliance.

Our speakers from Three Squared Architecture are nationally recognized for their built work and expertise in prefabricated construction methods. They will break down the pros and cons of container based, modular and panelized systems and highlight how these construction methods intersect with local planning, zoning, and permitting processes.
