Escalating urbanization demands rapid, sustainable infrastructure, challenging traditional site‐intensive methods. Prefabricated or Modular Construction has emerged as an industrialized solution, offering significant acceleration and budget savings. However, technical and commercial barriers, including high initial investment, logistical constraints, and perceived low longevity due to structural vulnerabilities, hinder its widespread adoption. These gaps specifically the risk of connection failure, low material durability, and brittle behavior under dynamic stress currently led to rapid depreciation in residual asset value. These core technical challenges by proposing a novel, integrated solution: the development and rigorous experimental validation of the Gypsum‐Glass Fiber (GGF) composite panel system by using its macromolecular chemistry and solid‐state physics, which incorporates localized steel wire reinforcement strategically placed at critical module joints to introduce the necessary ductility and tensile capacity. This design countermeasure intended to ensure that the failure mode is safe and having ductile deformation rather than the brittle fracture characteristic of conventional modular connections. The methodology utilizes a strategy, including a comprehensive testing program focused on structural deformation analysis under static, dynamic, cyclic, seismic, and fire loading conditions. The final outcome is a validated GGF system durable to enhance the structural performance, effectiveness, and market viability of industrialized construction, transitioning modular structures into viable, long‐term capital assets.
