During the pandemic, many large-scale construction projects were put on hold. And now that there are supply chain issues, among other roadblocks, facility managers are sure to see an influx of projects with shortened deadlines, in order to meet the growing need. As the healthcare industry experiences continued growth, the demand for facilities increases as well. But due to the supply chain issues, as well as backed-up project schedules, the timeline for new construction may be stunted. However, pre-fabrication and modular construction—one of the fastest-growing trends in construction today—is prepared for the challenge.
