California and New York are key leaders in modular construction in both multi-family modular projects and educational modular products. And five states—California, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—are responsible for almost half of modular construction for educational units.
What is driving the trends for modular construction in these states, and what changes have occurred in the industry over the years?
On today’s episode of Mainstream Modular by Guerdon, host Gabrielle Bejarano speaks with Matt Mitchell, President at ProSet Modular, to discuss his path in the modular construction industry, growth in the industry, and which markets have been experiencing the most growth in modular construction.

Mitchell explained the geographical industry trends: “It seems like the cost of site build in different areas really drives where the modular industry works and where it doesn’t work. And what we’re finding now is it’s working in a much broader area.”
He added, “In the greatest areas of the market growth in the modular, California was a leader in that because it was the most expensive place to build site-built in the country, so we saw lots of modular working in the California area into the states…but what we’re seeing now is it’s expanding into other areas.”
Matt Mitchell is President at ProSet Modular and was previously a partner there. He has been in the construction industry for more than three decades and began his career as owner of High Mark Development.
