Modular Construction Overview
 Modular solutions provide an alternative method of construction.
 Building components are manufactured in a controlled factory environment to the same
building codes as conventional construction, using the same materials.
 Partially finished components are transported to the project site, assembled and finished.
 Modular buildings can be one, two or more stories.
 Modular buildings can be temporary, semi-permanent or permanent.
 Modular construction can be easily incorporated with other types of construction to
capitalize on the advantages that each has to offer.

Benefits of Modular Construction
 Speed: On Time, Accelerated Construction Schedule
o Concurrent site preparation and modular component fabrication
o Reduced weather delays
o Works well in areas where the construction season is short
o Reduced job site ‘chaos’ – limited deliveries, limited disruption
 Flexibility: Project Team Defines Design and Finish
o Design of building as well as makeup of design team
o Portability responds to changes in user demographics
o Variety of financing options available
 Cost: Controlled Budget Process
o Replicable, standardized
• Few change orders
• Improved quality
o Costs typically less than conventional construction

Modular = Green
 Inherently green – contributes to sustainable building initiatives
 Limits site disturbance
 Minimizes waste onsite due to factory construction and recycling
 Eliminates environmental factors that affect building materials
 Reduces overall construction time
 Simplifies relocation and reuse of buildings
 Saves energy through
o Reduced building volume
o Efficient HVAC design
o High insulation levels

Conventional Building Practices employed on site

Can be indistinguishable from site built structures

 Hybrid Construction is a Combination of Modular and Conventional, Pre-Engineered, or
another Method of Construction
o Common for Large Projects
o Allows the Project to take Advantage of the Benefits of Different Methods
o High Ceiling, Long Span Spaces can be Conventional or Pre-Engineered
o Repetitive Spaces (Classrooms, Restrooms, Offices) can be Modular
o Concurrent Construction - Preplanning Allows Modular Components to be Built
Off-Site While Site Preparation Activities (Grading, Foundations, Utilities, etc.) are
completed on site
About Hybrid Construction

Existing BuildingAddition Addition
Future Building
 Modular Construction easily accommodates Phased Construction
o Future Additions (Horizontal)
o Future Additions (Vertical) – Add a Second Floor
o Future Upgrade to Finishes
Phased Construction Offers Flexibility

 The Project Team should review all material selections and
specifications
 Selections are easily customized
 Selections include most options available in conventional construction
 Material Selection drives the cost of any construction project
 Customers should use and specify ‘commercial grade’ materials
Material Selection

Options Include:
 Outright Purchase
 Bond Financing
 Operating Lease
 Finance Lease

Temporary and Semi-Permanent Construction

Permanent Modular Construction

Custom Floorplans

Modular building quality and design has improved significantly
 Accelerated
o Concurrent construction = shorter schedule
 Cost effective
o Factory costs are controlled, will maintain value if properly designed, built, and
maintained
 Flexible
o Design and finish
 Sustainable
o Energy efficient, less disruption
 Financing
o Several options available
