WHY MODULAR
The easiest way to understand the top benefits of modular construction – speed, quality, and certainty – is to watch the process in action. At Austin-based OMC, Founder Adam Hootnick’s first foray into modular, home construction was measured in days or weeks, not months or years.
Modular construction is a process in which buildings are fabricated in a controlled factory setting using the same codes, standards and materials of a traditional “stick-built” structure. Complete factory-built modules are transported and combined on site to create your envisioned design with unprecedented efficiency.

THE ELEGANCE
OF MODULAR
For anyone who thinks homes built in a factory are less beautiful or lower quality than the ones built outdoors, well… think again.
THE BENEFITS OF MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Our homes are designed to be built 50% faster than traditional builds so we can get people into these structures quickly. We work with communities to rapidly turn houses into a homes.
Project Speed
Modular buildings are completed up to 50% faster than stick-builds since site work and factory production happen simultaneously, without delays from weather or permitting.
Quality
+ Consistency
A controlled construction environment with specialized in-house staff utilizing automation and other technology unavailable on-site delivers better buildings and reduced variability.
Scale + Standards
Every module is produced the same way in the same setting and designed for independent transport, resulting in a stronger structure that exceeds traditional construction standards.
Cost Savings
Faster project delivery means decreased overall costs, thanks to predictable timelines and minimal on-site disruptions due to worker availability, weather, theft, inefficiencies or redundancies.
Workforce + Safety Gains
A consistent, well-trained labor force operating in a factory setting minimizes workplace safety risks, and enables hiring from within groups historically excluded by the industry.
Environmental Impact
Modular construction significantly reduces material waste, increases energy efficiency, and minimizes ecological impact while creating a longer lasting product.
