Welcome to the Modular Building Institute
Founded in 1983, the Modular Building Institute (MBI) is the international non-profit trade association serving the modular construction industry. Members are manufacturers, contractors, and dealers in two distinct segments of the industry - permanent modular construction (PMC) and relocatable buildings (RB). Associate members are companies supplying the modular construction industry with building components, services, and financing. MBI has expanded its membership over the years to include architects, owner/developers, and general contractors, and collectively the members of the Modular Building Institute are designing and building the future of the modular/offsite construction industry.
