Nov. 2, 2026

Building Design + Construction

Southland Industries was recently featured in Building Design + Construction, where Chad Salge, Division Leader, VP, shared why an integrated approach to MEP modular construction is essential to meeting growing demands for schedule certainty, quality, safety, and long-term building performance.

The article highlights how an integrated lifecycle approach connects design, manufacturing, installation, and service to improve project delivery, including the importance of:

  • Engaging cross-functional teams early to align design, manufacturability, constructability, and service
  • Clearly defining modular and onsite installation scopes to improve coordination, efficiency, and project execution
  • Aligning project teams and contractual arrangements to support collaboration and shared project goals
  • Involving owners early in the process to establish clear expectations, streamline decision-making, and maintain project momentum
  • Scaling modular MEP solutions across markets, including data centers, healthcare, and manufacturing

As demand for complex facilities continues to grow, we remain focused on delivering integrated modular solutions that improve efficiency, reduce project risks, and support long-term building performance. Read the full article here.
