Construction Knowledge Series - Modular Construction

We understand and manage the modular construction projects

The first thing to remember is that modular buildings are a very cost effective way of developing projects requiring increased budget control and tight scheduling parameters. 
You will need to consider involving a an experienced investment concierge with experience managing the complexities of modular building installation. That would be us.

Your modular building concierge will help you to:

• identify your project parameters
• identify the right manufacturer for your project
• coordinate the design of your building with the manufacturer
• set up site control and assure all municipal requirements are met
• coordinate labor resources for erection
• inspect the installation as it progresses.

You'll need our experience and expertise. Call us for a meeting - 215-395-6220

Modular Building Construction

Modular building construction is very effective method to controlling traditional on site construction cost.  Over the last few decades the process has become more sophisticated to include a variety of building types. Primarily used initially in residential home construction, the process now includes charter schools, hotels and motels, medical buildings and many other building types where cost control and time of completion are most criterial.

 

Prior to product delivery, site preparation is undertaken to pave the way for smooth installation and erection. Foundations are installed and modifications are made to any adjacent structures. In addition to normal coordination activities, transportation requirements must be analyzed and planned for the wide load delivery of modules. Local state highway agencies are notified and  approvals are granted route delivery.



The process is based on a high level of precision. Cranes are employed to lift and place each module into place. The modules are pre-erected and then disassembled at the manufacturer's facility to insure the accuracy of  field connections. The manufacturer's ability to construct each module in an control environment minimizes defects during construction process.

 

Each module is inspected for compliance with the design, placement and inter-connecting components. Building mechanical systems are assessed to connection between each module to insure seamless operation of the building once fully assembled.
