DASNY is always looking to stay on the cutting edge for its clients. This week, President Robert Rodriguez was able to see how modular construction is transforming the service potential at Odyssey House, a NYS OASAS provider agency. In 2010 DASNY began exploring the utilization of modular construction to serve agencies and organizations across New York and has completed multiple projects in that time. Now, in New York City, DASNY is managing the expansion of the George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery. This three-story, 22,500 sq. ft., expansion consists of 71 modular units. Beginning in December 2023, the project will be completed in the Summer of 2025, saving 12 months over traditional construction.

We are focusing on mitigating the impact of this ongoing shortfall. #dlcohencc #huroncomponents #offsiteconstruction #manufacturing #productivity #quality #multifamilyconstruction #construction #components #multifamilycommunity #Denverconstruction #production #design #futureofconstruction
