  1. DELIVERED FAST BUILT TO LAST Assessing the Benefits of Modular Construction for Military Applications

  3. Modular Construction Definition Resource-efficient Inherently greener Quality-control Examples Q&A

  4. Modular Construction Defined Temporary Office Space Permanent Medical Facility A resource efficient, off-site project delivery method to construct code-compliant buildings in a quality-controlled setting.

  5. Resource Efficient Modular construction saves on time/labor

  6. Resource Efficient In 2008, the National Research Council formed a committee of experts to indentify breakthrough technologies to improve construction efficiency. Greater use of modularization and off-site fabrication techniques was cited as one of five key breakthroughs.

  7. Resource Efficient Time/Labor Efficiencies Increased workers safety through reduced exposures to inclement weather, temperature extremes, and ongoing or hazardous operations; better working conditions – Advancing the Competitiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Construction Industry; National Research Council (NRC) - 2008 Labor productivity also improved when construction activities were performed using materials that were easier to install or were pre-fabricated (Goodrum et al., 2009).

  8. Resource Efficient Prefabrication and related techniques are commonly used in the construction of industrial projects, but they are also used, if less frequently, for commercial and infrastructure projects. The (NRC) committee believes that greater use and deployment of these techniques (if used appropriately) can result in: Improved quality, Lower project costs, Shorter schedules, More efficient use of labor and materials, and Improved worker safety. Read the full report from the National Research Council here: http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12717#orgs

  9. Resource Efficient Evaluation Criteria in recent U.S Army Corp of Engineers Request for Proposals: Technical Approach for Design and Construction: The Government places a higher value on an offer that provides proposed methods to streamline construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and support an aggressive schedule, including such things as fast tracking, using factory built modules or assemblies, panelization, pre-cast, tilt-up, standard designs, etc.  The Government will also consider whether the approach reduces on-site craft labor and susceptibility to inclement weather delays.

  10. Inherently Greener “The life cycle expectancy of modular construction is the same as conventional, and in a world where sustainability is gaining momentum each day, there are also several basic principles intrinsic to the modular construction process that make it more eco-friendly than conventional construction.” American Institute of Architects (AIA) -“External Issues & Trends Affecting Architects, Architectural Firms, and the AIA” -February 2008

  11. Inherently Greener Some of the biggest waste streams in traditional construction are packaging (up to 5%), timber (up to 25%) and plasterboard (up to 36%). Up to a 90% reduction can be achieved by reducing wastes such as wood pallets, shrink wrap, cardboard, plasterboard, timber, concrete, bricks and cement by increasing the use of off-site manufacture and modern methods of construction.

  14. Quality Control Manufacturing building components off-site provides for more controlled conditions and allows for improved quality and precision in the fabrication of the component”– Advancing the Competitiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Construction Industry; National Research Council - 2008
