What type of construction process are we talking about ?Why is this a hot topic? What are the considerations to adoption?What are the critical success factors?

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Prefab is an Umbrella Term
= Prefabrication= Factory-built= Off-site Construction
Tiny Houses
Stackable Modular
Containers Kit
Panelized
They’re all“prefab”

What Triumph Does Best
Volumetric Modular 6 sided building blocks
Built Off-Site in a controlled manufacturing environment.
Near-Complete: typically over 65% complete.
Accelerated: Most accelerated process known, with the promise of no sacrifice to quality or design.

Modular Allows For Concurrent Processes

Cases from the Off-Site Studies Report demonstrate an average of 16% cost savings compared to traditional construction.
Greater control of cost Reduction in change orders “8% cost overruns over multiple projects
over a four year period due to Change Orders.”
Predictable Cost
“The reason for choosing off-site construction is not simply in cost efficiency, but in precision of the construction and ability to control and predict cost.” (NIBS Off Site 2014)
Safer
According to the Safety Management in the Construction Industry SmartMarket Report, "Firms using prefabrication … have significantly higher adoption levels of nearly all the safety practices measured in the survey.”

Modular addition
Existing Student Residence
Modular is on-par with existing buildings.
Designed to Fit Together
Computing = Application Programming Interface
Modular = Architecturally Planned Interface
Working Within Limitations
Transport restrictions limit module size. Less plenum space. Larger beams needed to create clearspans
reduce ceiling height.

Critical Success Factors
Commit to the concept early, owner and consults Speed requires intense coordination - Design build
or construction management forms of contracting Team member roles clearly understood, designer,
factory, engineers. Subcontractor Scopes of Work clear Architect works in close coordination with modular
expert -pull subs up into design process

Fabricator Selection
Factory vs Field
Transportation
Permitting and Regulatory
