Lots of theories, and a few facts. You’ve seen it in the news or felt it at the checkout. Shortages and supply chain issues have caused a lot of products to become very scarce and expensive (if available at all). Just one example that impacts our industry directly: a quantity of seasoned lumber that cost $100 in February of this… Read More
Caution: Meme-free zone. There’s been a lot of crazy things happening in the investment world. It may seem like the lunatics have taken over the asylum on Wall Street, with social media pundits driving stock markets and fund managers crazy, forcing “short squeezes” and sending junk stocks “to the moon.” But that frenzy of activity has also exposed some very… Read More
Keep an open mind. That’s the lesson we learn from some unexpected situations where modular construction and temporary facilities have been the best solution. Rapid construction, standardized materials, factory fabrication and significant cost savings with high quality are well-known advantages of modular. And the most typical temporary structure use cases are easy to imagine. But there’s more to our industry… Read More
Construction Industry Faces Changes and Challenges After some wild ups and downs that don’t seem to be letting up (if you own any stocks, you know what I mean!), we are seeing some progress towards stability in at least one area. Vaccinations for COVID-19 have finally begun to pick up steam, with 1.7 million doses being administered daily—well over the… Read More

Nadler Modular Construction has been keeping you posted on some of the smaller (but important!) and larger (epic, even!) projects we’ve been privileged to be a part of this past year. From rapid response medical spaces,… Read More
It’s Coming Together Nadler and its partners are racing to get the massive Hill Air Force Base installation completed. Since last month’s posting the site prep has been completed and the modules—all 108 of them—are being assembled, trucked in, and joined together to create what is probably one of the largest structures of its kind in the USA.

MISSION BRIEF Located about 30 miles from Salt Lake City, Hill Air Force Base in northern Utah is one of the largest military bases on U.S. soil. It houses the 75th Air Base Wing, 388th Fighter Wing, and 419th Fighter Wing, along with thousands of logistics and support personnel.

Recently I was thinking about disruption, integration, synergy, and connections. Nadler Modular Construction builds spaces for private industry, education, and government. Hergo Ergonomic Workspace Solutions builds … workspace solutions, of course. So far, these businesses have been functioning as “silos”—corporate-speak for standalone units that are isolated without much information or resource sharing going on. That’s not ideal. I think that… Read More
Last month I made this outrageous claim: there’s never been a better time to start—or BUY—a business. The New York Times had a similar take on the subject. But I don’t think they went far enough. Recently in my LinkedIn feed I saw someone saying they had “dodged a bullet” by backing out of a large multi-unit real estate deal… Read More
