Provides a structured framework for determining when modularization is the optimal project delivery strategy based on cost, schedule, logistics, and organizational readiness.
Evaluates the financial and schedule impacts of modular construction compared to traditional stick-built delivery using Total Installed Cost and Time-Value analysis.
Modular transport is a high-value, critical supply chain activity in modular construction. Transport at this scale, is not a commodity activity, it is a risk-intensive extension of the manufacturing process.
Outlines best practices for integrating spare parts planning, traceability, and lifecycle support into modular project delivery.
Identifies key contractual provisions and governance practices needed to effectively manage risk and performance in modular construction.
Explains how a continuous, auditable record of project information improves quality, accountability, compliance, and long-term asset management.
Explores how digital passports provide complete lifecycle traceability, quality assurance, and asset information management for modular projects.
Examines the workforce skills, training methods, and competency requirements needed to support successful modular construction.
On capital projects, the value created by efficient design and construction execution can be quickly destroyed by a delayed or inefficient startup.
This Executive Insight focuses on the design of modules. Modularization and preassembly are construction techniques in which all or part of sections or facilities are prefabricated or assembled in one location and then transported to the site.
Parkinson’s Law states “work expands to fill available time for its completion.”
Modularization and preassembly are construction techniques in which all or part of sections or facilities are prefabricated or assembled in one location and then transported to the site.
The design and construction of transportation facilities in the United States have been managed by public agencies or toll road authorities for most of the last century.
This insight will share practices on methods that support the accelerating project delivery process and that are effective in improving these four key project metrics.
Through an owner case study, this insight will share the benefits of owner-procured materials that support front-end planning and procurement to accelerate delivery.
Construction projects often have a huge number of players involved in innumerable interactions and reliance on others to complete tasks properly as predecessors to many follow-on activities.
PARC was a national oil company’s refinery revamp, a $1.2B project in 1994 dollars. Just one year away from scheduled completion, the project was well behind schedule, and the construction manager.
The purpose of this Executive Insight is to explain the benefits of accelerating project delivery through early contractor involvement (ECI), regardless of project delivery method.
