The earthquake resistance rating of a modular or prefabricated building varies depending on its design, materials used, and location. However, many modular and prefabricated buildings are engineered to meet or exceed seismic codes and standards. They are designed to be flexible and durable, with advanced construction techniques and materials that can withstand seismic activity and minimize damage in the event of an earthquake. Some manufacturers also offer earthquake-resistant features as optional upgrades, such as reinforced steel frames, earthquake-resistant cladding, and specialized foundation systems. Ultimately, the earthquake resistance rating of a modular or prefabricated building will depend on the specific building and its location, and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
