Sullivan Trail Junior High Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania Andrew Mellow Goals Background Drawings Site Plan Schedule April 13, 2005 Modular Construction  Advantages  Requires little or no shake out area  Generally saves money  Reduces construction time by 1/3 because modules can be started while foundations are being dug  Reduced schedule leads to a faster payback period for the building  Minimizes schedule risks by having portions of the construction take place in a controlled environment and shortens critical path  Safety concerns are reduced because of controlled work environment  Portions of the building can easily be added or removed as needed

Sullivan Trail Junior High Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania Andrew Mellow Goals Background Drawings Site Plan Schedule April 13, 2005 Modular Construction  Disadvantages  Requires substantial planning so front end of projects can be prolonged  Sometimes there will be an up cost  Works best on repetitive buildings such as jails and hotels  Increase in columns  Maximum clear span of 28 feet  Modular designers prefer to have very little or no CMU

Sullivan Trail Junior High Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania Andrew Mellow Goals Background Drawings Site Plan Schedule April 13, 2005 Types of Modular Construction  Static Modular Construction  Modules are built similar to a conventional building  The modules are fully assembled them portions removed on match line  Typically are shipped on flat bed trucks  Adaptable to existing floor plans  NRB Incorporated  Assembly Line Modular Construction  Module moves to different stations  Modules are never fully assembled until on site  Typically have wheels attached to frame  Focuses on efficiency  Mark Line Industries
