Construction can embrace the transformative power of modular design. With the industry expanding, projects can include building multifamily units apartments, student housing, and affordable housing. What could these projects take on next?

Welcome to the third season of Architecture 5 10 20! I’m your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. Guests from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences related to the built environment will come to share their thought leadership. Our conversations will start with understanding how they arrived at what they’re doing now. More importantly, we will focus on discussing their vision for the future, looking out 5, 10, and 20 years.

Today we are joined by Roger Krulak, the Founder and President of FullStack Modular. FullStack Modular provides fully integrated design, manufacture, and construction solutions for mid and high rise modular buildings in dense urban areas. In our conversation, we will explore Roger’s wealth of knowledge and the intricate world of high rise multifamily modular design and construction.

Listen as we discuss modularity changes to the approach of construction. Roger is a leader in the modular construction industry with over 25 years of experience in the development and construction side of the real estate business. Roger started to build high rise modular multifamily buildings to decrease the volatility of construction pricing, to make it cost effective, and to find a way to build affordable housing.

Roger’s journey to increase the adoption of full stack modules design, manufacture, and construction solution is very compelling. He reminds us of the importance of sticking to the defined parameters of full stack modulars process systems and dimensions to maximize the project's value proposition and reap the various benefits of modularity. His insights into the future of sustainability cost savings and modular construction methods excite us about what lies ahead.
