AI Summary: A new building code standard for modular construction is being introduced to establish clear guidelines for the connection and configuration of modular building components. This initiative aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of modular construction practices, ensuring better integration and performance of prefabricated structures.

This is a welcomed. Modular homes got a bad reputation for being a cheap alternative for people who could not afford a traditional wood frame structure but the construction has gotten much better over the years. Hopefully with updated codes modular construction can be viewed as a legitimate solution to facility needs.
