"Modular construction" or "cellular assembly"


Explanation:
If it has to do with building something on site, then "modular". (e.g. modular housing units or shelving/ storage systems).

If it has to do with assembly work in a factory, then it can be cellular. (e.g. assembly workers are organised into small groups or a single woker called "cells".
