# Modular, Volumetric, and Off-site Systems

Prefabricated assemblies whose factory-controlled construction is naturally compatible with disassembly, reuse, and reconfiguration.

The section distinguishes factory-made volumes, panels, and structural systems by the recovery unit they create. [Volumetric Modular Construction](volumetric-modular-construction.md) asks whether a room can move again. [Panelized Construction](panelized-construction.md) asks whether a two-dimensional wall, roof, floor, or façade assembly can be identified, released, inspected, and routed into reuse, refurbishment, or controlled recycling. [Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Mass Timber](clt-mass-timber.md) adds a material question: when a structural panel stores biogenic carbon and carries certification evidence, the connection and information model decide whether that value survives the next project.
