1. A method of providing a prefabricated modular building unit, the method comprising:
determining a first site-specific condition;
determining a second site-specific condition;
providing the prefabricated modular building unit;
based on the first site-specific condition and the second site-specific condition, determining installation requirements for the prefabricated modular building unit;
positioning the prefabricated modular building unit on an underlying substrate and proximal to at least one fire-rated wall;
based on the determined installation requirements, determining at least one of an anchoring, framing, strapping, and a fastening requirement of the prefabricated modular building unit; and
securing the prefabricated modular building unit by providing at least one of a strap, a brace, and an anchor extending through at least a portion of the prefabricated modular building unit and through the substrate, a structure, or a slab located adjacent the prefabricated modular building unit,
wherein the first site-specific condition and the second site-specific condition are different.
