Jin Ouk Choi is an associate professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and manages the University’s Project Management and Construction Engineering Lab (PMCEL) and received the 2023 Modular Building Fellow Award from the Modular Building Institute (MBI). The PMCEL lab is at the forefront of training the next generation of construction project managers in applying modularization, standardization and offsite construction methods on future construction projects.

Jin recently published a post-grad textbook, Modularization: The Fine Art of Offsite Preassembly for Capital Projects, that guides readers on taking modular projects from concept, through manufacturing and onsite implementation.

Offsight sat down with Jin to get his perspective on the growth of modular and offsite construction and how he and his team are preparing the next generation of construction leaders for this disruptive change.
