The Modular Building Institute (www.mbinet.org) represents the manufacturers, dealers, and suppliers of the commercial factory-built structures industry.

From classrooms to airport terminals, dormitories to weigh stations, emergency rooms to restaurants, MBI member companies manufacture, install, service and lease every conceivable type of building, both temporary and permanent. The commercial building awards, judged by an impartial panel of experts, were based on the following four criteria: architectural excellence, technical innovation, cost effectiveness/energy efficiency, and calendar days to complete.
