The projects are scored in four categories by an official panel of judges. Those categories include: architectural excellence, technical innovation, cost-effectiveness / energy efficiency, and calendar days to complete.



This year's8217;s conference was held in Orlando. As is customary on the last evening of the event, the highly anticipated awards dinner took place.

About Modular Buildings


A modular building is a factory-built structure that complies with the same building codes as traditional construction. Modular construction (http://www.pacvan.com/modular-aboututm_source=prweb's38;utm_medium=pr-release's38;utm_campaign=AoD2010)is ideal for any application including commercial and retail facilities as illustrated above. They offer the advantages of early occupancy, portability, financial flexibility, and cost savings. Modular buildings have established a growing niche in the construction process for organizations that need quality temporary or permanent space without the delays often associated with traditional 's8220;site built's8221; construction. Modular buildings have also been identified as a more eco-friendly building option (http://www.pacvan.com/Green_Practicesutm_source=prweb's38;utm_medium=pr-release's38;utm_campaign=AoD2010)for those companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
