How It Started: Unloading and Preparation Before assembly could begin, the materials needed to come out of the shipping containers and into the workspace. The first photos from the project capture this opening stage: unloading, unpacking, and preparing for the work ahead. These are the moments that rarely appear in photographs of a finished building, but they are part of the story of how it gets built. For a project involving 40 units, this beginning also gives a sense of the scale of the task ahead. Each unit is part of a larger undertaking, with assembly and transport forming successive stages of the process. How It’s Going: Assembly Underway With the initial unloading phase behind us, the focus has moved to offsite assembly. The latest project photographs show that transition. What began as packed materials is taking shape as individual units, making the progress easier to see with each new update. This is an opportunity to follow modular construction while it happens. The finished project will tell one story; these images show the work that comes before it. Built Offsite, Bound for Bakersfield The 40 units are being assembled away from the project location. Once finished, they will be transported to Bakersfield for the next stage. That sequence is central to this project’s approach: assembly takes place offsite before the units make their journey to their destination. It also means there is substantial work to document before they arrive. As the project progresses, we’ll continue sharing updates from assembly through the stages that follow.
