Abstract: There has been a significant increase in the use of modular construction methods over the past several years. Modular construction has been described by the Engineering News Record (ENR) as “Creating buildings in modules at an offsite plant and then shipping the (one or more) prefabricated sections to the jobsite.”Commercial modular successes range from relocatable classrooms to permanent dormitories; three to five story hospitality and health care facilities; multifamily (affordable) residential housing; as well as the 32-story, 363-unit Forest City Tower completed in Brooklyn, New York and the more recent 58-story mixed use Rainer Square Tower in Seattle, Washington.
The Modular Building Institute (MBI) suggests that the advantages of modular project delivery method include reduced jobsite disturbance, improved worker safety and more predictable schedule and cost certainty. Additionally, the offsite manufacturing process provides opportunities for better quality management, with less material waste and reduces jobsite congestion.
This paper describes the phases of modular construction and the requirements for successful implementation of the modular project delivery method. Included is a discussion of the project controls (PC) and project production management (PPM) collaboration requirements to support commercial modular construction. This paper is based on virtual conferences, webinars, interviews and literature research of over 60 articles and publications.
