Permanent modular construction techniques combine the form and function of traditional site built construction with the speed and cost efficiencies of the modular construction process.

Imagine a large scale construction project built on site. Think of the hundreds working on a building project over the course of several years. Think of the constant changes, quality problems, mistakes and corrections that go on during that time. Think of the slow, steady pace as the building is constructed. The number of people standing around, taking breaks. The long time before the building occupants can ever move in.

Now, imagine all the work they do being done in a matter of months, not years. Imagine site construction and building construction occurring simultaneously. Imagine that the contractor must get everything right, the first time, with no room for error. Imagine a building process that needs to meet stringent levels of quality and have well-timed processes so all the many finish out activities are performed concurrently.

That is large scale permanent modular construction. To be successful, it requires that a company have extensive experience in design engineering, strong site management capabilities and exceptional modular construction manufacturing skills, since so much of the time and quality is dependent on using modular construction to fabricate “building modules” for site installation and finish out.
