"One of the biggest disruptions to the model is the broken planning system. Its unpredictability and glacial speed are causing havoc in the modular factories where product runs are constantly having to be revised." Same issue with traditional builds... Planning regulations.. Unless the core of the problem gets resolved it won't make any real difference to the status quo. Let's get in the weeds.. 1. 20 plus Consultant Reports have to be submitted with Zoning Amendments and Site Plan Approval BEFORE the Applications are deemed a 'Complete Application '. 2. The Reports are circulated among 30 different regulatory Agencies for comments. 3. Many of the Reports have to also be peer reviewed by independent consultants retained by the City and paid for by the Applicant. Get this... One of the Reports is often an Environmental Impact Study. It has to comment on a project's possible impact on breeding habitat. Example.. A fish spawns say 2 weeks in May but the Consultant is retained in June. That EIS Report can't be completed until after the next spawning period 1 year later. 😳 The above process plus the required public meetings (and NIMBY influence) are the real reason for years long delays with increasing construction costs and DC's etc. #developer #construction #planning #design #affordablehousing #affordablerentals #realestate #commercialrealestate #condos #realestateindustry #interestrates #loaninterest #inflation
The door is in danger of closing on modular, just as it needs to be opened. England's modular rollercoaster continues. From excitement with ministers donning hard hats on construction sites and declaring the practice a pioneer of modern methods of construction (MMC), to economic distress and failures. #modular #MMC https://lnkd.in/ebYtfdHx
