I think it’s about taking a balanced view across the specifics of the project, what you are trying to achieve, the overall design, the route-to-market, your supply-chain, and the contractual relationships - at Intrastack we look to ensure that all of these factors are balanced to provide an optimal solution for the project, and for our customer… that way, it’s always a WIN-WIN… But great to see that the industry is waking up to the fact that it’s not all about volumetric - panelised Cat 2 #MMC systems are gaining great traction, and there’s a number of reasons why… such as the aforementioned… The #constructionrevolution is on..! www.intrastack.co.uk Danny Johnson Alexandra Anderson Cherise Hardy-Edwards Scott Jackson Matthew Grant Jack Bullock Jason Milligan Tom Johnson Simon Pritchard Gary Fillingham Simon Barwise

The construction industry is ever-evolving and modular is a big part of that. Not everyone knows what it is though, so let us tell you. Volumetric Modular Construction is where entire sections or "volumes" of a building are constructed in a factory setting. Panelised construction is where building components are constructed off-site but in smaller sections or panels. There is also Hybrid Modular construction, but to find out more head to our blog: https://lnkd.in/e5BTFfSs #FixFirm #Modular #Construction #Building

Steel framing in residential construction may be uncommon in the U.S., but it's rapidly proving to be a game changer. The precision, speed, and strength of light gauge steel deliver unmatched quality, durability, and sustainability. As more builders explore steel framing, it's clear that this method is transforming the way homes are built. #ResidentialSteelFraming #BuildingInnovation #LightGaugeSteel #ModernConstruction

🏗️ Want to accelerate your construction timelines? Prefabricated cold-formed steel (CFS) walls are the answer! 💨 Engineered for speed and efficiency, these pre-assembled walls cut down on-site labor time, getting your project off the ground quickly. ⏱️ Say goodbye to traditional construction delays and hello to streamlined building processes with prefabricated CFS walls. 🚀 #Construction #Prefab #CFSWalls #SpeedyBuilds

We have seen some interesting policy changes in the timber sector over the last 7 years, the most recent being in Kenya. We believe that cold-formed steel offers a better long-term solution than timber offers to the construction and property industry, I would love to hear from those who disagree. Some respectful debate never hurt anyone! #construction #alternativebuilding #framecad #africabuilding #africaconstruction

In the world of prefab modular construction, you don't often see the work it takes to get to this point and that's where we come in! We have extensive experience in offsite construction projects from preconstruction to final inspection. But this part is so cool, isn't it?! #offsiteconstruction #modularconstruction #prefab #affordablehousing #generalcontractor #coloradobuilder #modular

As a manufacturer of prefabricated timber frame systems, we’re often asked whether prefabricated construction is the same as modular construction. The short answer is no, they are different. But they are similar in that both types are manufactured off-site and they are equally time and cost-efficient. For those who would like to know more about the differences, and what each type is used for, follow the link below to read our simple guide. https://lnkd.in/dTG-ccKY Our team loves to answer questions about all aspects of offsite construction so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 📞01403 782600. #timberframe #timberconstruction #prefabricatedbuildings #prefabricatedconstruction #modularconstruction #modularbuilding #offsiteconstruction #offsitemanufacturing #propertydevelopment #mmc #modernmethodsofconstruction

I attended the Bisnow Prefabrication, Modular & Mass Timber Conference yesterday in Culver City to learn more about prefab/modular construction. A couple takeaways: Pros: can significantly reduce build time and cost, avoid weather delays, lower labor costs, reduce need for storage space for construction materials Cons: limitations on customization/variation, high transportation costs, heavily front loaded process as far as design/decision making/budget expenditure, limited financing options, supplier risks Overall takeaway: these newer construction methods are great for the right project and can be accretive in some cases, but are not a cure-all for the high construction costs and long timelines developers are dealing with these days. Site shape/topography, product type, design goals, and financing are a few factors that can determine feasibility of prefab/modular construction. If anyone has had success with prefab/modular I would love to pick your brain!
