Introduction –Ryan’s history from high school to present day.
What is Modular Construction? What is happening? Where is it Going?
Clients•Universities, Colleges, Military, Hospitals, General Contractors, Industrial/Factories, Power Plants, Churches, Developers, Restaurants, Facility Managers, Etc. The list goes on.
Some Examples of Where It Is Used•Office and Swing Space•Dormitories/Lodging•Educational/Training•Shower/Locker Rooms•Bullet/Blast Resistant•Laboratories•In-Plant Offices/Clean Rooms•Emergencies and Natural Disasters
Benefits•Speed Using Concurrent Construction/Less Site Disturbance•Can Accelerate Project Completion and Delivery by 40% to 50%•Most are Built in a Climate Controlled Environment•Reusability
Challenges•Module Heights, Widths, and Lengths•Shipping and Staging•Mate Lines
Two Most Common Types of Commercial Modular Construction - VB and IIB
Life Safety and ADA Requirements – Impact of Design
3rd Party Inspectors, State Seal Program, and IBC

How Are The Modules Constructed?•Perimeter and Outrigger Frames – 10” or 12” Beams – Impact to Foundations•Axles, Tires, & Hitches or Skid Mount•7’8” to 15’8” Widths and Maximum 76’ Lengths – Site Concerns•Shipping Heights and Freight/Escorts/Costs - Impact of Design•Mate Lines – Impact of Design•Mechanical Systems – Wall-Mounted and Roof Top – Ductwork pre-installed•Electrical Systems – Pre-wired to individual panels in each module•Plumbing Fixtures – Pre-Installed and stubbed through floor•Cabinetry – Pre-Installed and set•Low Voltage Junction Boxes – Pre-Installed with conduit and pull strings•Interior Wall/Ceiling Finishes – Installed to meet project requirements•Windows/Doors – Installed per design and code requirements
Foundations•Geotechnical Soil Investigation – Industry Standard 3,000 psf conditions •30” Finished Floor Heights with Crawlspace and Skirting•ABS Pads, 8” Hollow Block, Concrete Caps, and Wood Shims - Anchor•Augured Concrete Footings to Grade – Block to Steel Beams – Anchor•Stem Wall Foundations with Interior Piers
Decks/Steps/ADA Ramps/Canopies – Impact of Design
Examples of Projects•Tidewater Community College•Dominion Power•Washington Redskins•Edward Jones•Maryland Port Authority•U-Stor•Ft. Belvoir
