The pandemic, rising construction costs, and skilled labor shortages have highlighted the potential of modular construction as an alternative to conventional construction and project delivery. The promise of quality construction, budget-friendly products, combined with the challenge of accelerated project schedules are making headlines in design and construction journals.
Modular building manufacturers and innovative designers have responded to these headlines and developed new product lines and concepts. Project types such as schools, medical buildings, bathroom pods, industrial processing centers, infrastructure support, as well as multi-story hotels and dormitories have been constructed utilizing modular construction. But has this approach provided value?
During this presentation, we will evaluate the potential attributes of utilizing modular construction for alternate project delivery and learn how to determine if this method could provide benefits to your next project. We’ll also briefly review the history and basic types of modular construction and provide tools for project implementation. We’ll also present examples of projects that have utilized modular construction to solve complex design problems and create uncontested market space.
