The article presents the idea of flexibility in engineering design expressed in the formof prefabricated/modular construction. The basic assumption is the possibility of adapting to the user's requirements. Modular construction is an effective tool to implement the idea of flexibility and facilitates the management of investment throughout the life cycle.
