Abstract
Industries around the world are improving continuously. They are converted into more efficient, dynamic and productive forms and construction is no exception to this principle. Indeed, this sector had started to get organized during the last decades. Modular design was introduced as an industrialization mean. However, few companies benefit from this concept in order to offer competitive prices and sustainable buildings. This paper, based on two case studies, presents key considerations for a successful implementation of modular design into an existing traditional construction business. Investigations were conducted to analyze the potential synergy and complementarity between modularization and the traditional French construction. The results show that modularization is viewed as a major change in the core business. As a consequence, modularization should be accompanied with a change management process. The results also revealed that modular construction goes hand in hand with a strong focus on technical frameworks. However, during the first implementation phase, spotlights should be slightly more directed into organizational planning and managerial postures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
