Z Modular, a Chicago-based construction company, held its first-ever stacking events Tuesday and Wednesday at Cheatham Street Flats.
The company uses prefabricated modules to build the apartment complex. Each unit is stacked on each other and connected using Z Modular’s “revolutionary” VectorBloc, which is a steel modular connection system that forms strong frameworks that can be built taller and is more cost efficient, according to the company.
“Z Modular modules, including façades, are 95 percent completed in factory. This enables us to ensure quality control and stay on time or ahead of timelines,”said Richard Rozycki, senior vice president of Z Modular in a press release. “We’re excited to show our work in our first-ever stacking event May 7 and 8.”
