Forget everything you know ......about “Modular”Check out the Forbes writeup below!Jennifer Castenson has rounded up some of the most successful, active and supportive groups operating in The modular sector for some candid quotes
There is no shortage of developers or builders who have tried prefabrication and now swear against it. I hear more and more, “we tried it and it didn’t work.”
Yet, some are achieving huge success. But how?
By chatting with several experts in the field, I discovered that success comes from forgetting what you know about stick built projects and starting over with a clean slate. Modular projects need different timelines, a different set of stakeholders, and therefore deserve a different process to be successful.
As Daniel Gehman, principal at architecture firm Danielian Associates wrote in a recent blog post:
I offer a fundamental encouragement to anyone considering a modular project: conceive of it as modular or prefabricated from the very word “go.”
Anthony Gude serves as the director of operations at R & S Tavares Associates, a company that provides services that include design, structural engineering, consulting, and project management for prefabricated buildings. He emphasizes the critical need to bring all the key players on a project together from the very beginning.
