Modular building construction has been increasing interest in adopting and utilizing off-site production technologies in house building in many countries and regions. Despite increasing interest of the modular building method, most of researchers were less interested in to support inexperienced designer who never experience in modular building design process. The objective of this paper is development of modular building construction design process framework, focusing on to provide for start-up modular company’s inexperienced designers’ improvement of modular building design understanding and reduce design errors at the enforcement design stage. To achieve this purpose, this paper adopts Building Systems Integration (BSI) concepts into framework and describes each step following proposed framework. This paper provides more easy to understand for inexperienced designer understanding the modular building design process than current textual guidelines. Subsequently, proposed framework can be translating for training materials to inexperienced modular building design process designers
