    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Gómez Arroyave, Arlex; Pineda Otálvaro, Pablo; Tobar Guinand, José Mauricio
    This thesis addresses the urgent need for affordable housing solutions in the United States, particularly in areas where high construction costs hinder access to dignified homes. It focuses on exploring innovative alternatives to overcome traditional limitations in costs, time, and resources. Through a comprehensive analysis, it examines the socio-economic and legal context, as well as the market for modular housing and its competitors. It delves into technical, organizational, environmental, and financial aspects, tracing the evolution from the history of modular construction to its current context. Additionally, it provides a detailed explanation of construction processes and materials used. Subsequently, it identifies and analyzes key factors influencing the viability of a modular home construction company, addressing aspects such as required investment, employment generation, types of homes to sell, market share, potential risks, and mitigation strategies. Finally, the research evaluates modular construction as an emerging option to tackle the housing crisis, exploring its impact on both the market and society at large.
