The Rise of the Prefab Market: Part 1
The benefits of prefab construction are undeniable. But do these benefits have the power to produce a genuine, widespread, and sustainable impact on the residential and commercial real estate markets?
Prefab Systems + BIM — a Winning Combination
To truly appreciate prefab construction and all its benefits, you have to understand how prefab structures come together. We take a closer look at the two different types of prefab systems, as well as the pros and cons of each.
The Power of Prefab to Increase Efficiency and Save Money – Part 2
Prefabrication can significantly reduce the timeline on construction schedules. This reduced timeline lowers labor costs, keeps on-site overhead costs in check, and allows stakeholders to move on to their next project more quickly.

The Power of Prefab to Increase Efficiency and Save Money – Part 1
For decades, construction has fallen short in the areas of efficiency and performance. But today, thanks to a recent shift toward off-site manufacturing-style production, there’s an opportunity for construction processes to speed up — an advancement that will save a significant amount of time and money.
Estonian builders visit Nordic CLT and modular construction companies
Vertex Systems invited Estonian wood builders to Finland to learn about Nordic CLT and modular construction.
Modular Construction Takes Construction Productivity to a New Level
Recent modular builds are speeding up project timelines by 20–50% while saving construction costs.
BIM: Modernizing Building Lifecycle Management
BIM technology is the backbone of what’s known as Building Lifecycle Management — the integrated coordination, organization, and control of all the information that pertains to a building project.
How BIM Prepares for Future Facilities Management
Read how the information saved in a BIM model can greatly impact the operations of a building long after construction is complete.
How BIM Software Reduces the Environmental Impacts of Construction
Did you know that the construction industry is responsible for a jaw-dropping 50% of the solid waste generated worldwide? Software companies are doing their part to tackle this problem.
How BIM Brings Safety to the Construction Site
Construction is one of the most dangerous and hazardous industries worldwide — even with a significant drop in the rate of injuries over the last 20 years. Fortunately, there are new advancements being made every day to improve construction-site safety.
Prefab & BIM Technology Lead to Fast-Track Efficiency
Many areas of the construction industry could see a 5–10x productivity boost by moving to a manufacturing-style production system like the methods used in prefab construction.
BIM Software Keeps Construction Projects Running on Time
One single building project can involve designers, engineers, architects, and subcontractors spending hundreds of hours drafting the plans and executing the build. And while this type of collaboration has the potential to take a project to the next level, it can also be problematic without proper coordination.
BIM Software for Contractors: A Breakdown of Benefits
By providing the contractors and subcontractors with a higher level of detail, BIM software ensures that errors are caught, expectations are aligned, and cost estimates and schedules are accurate.
How 3D Modeling Can Keep Your Construction Project on Schedule
BIM technology allows you to see the entire structure from start to finish, before you ever break ground – a benefit that can save you time and money on your construction project.
Construction Cost Estimates: Why Accuracy is Essential
Precise cost estimations to help you make the best financial decisions for your construction project.
Smart Solutions for Eliminating Construction Errors
If you want to stay on budget, you have to stay on schedule. But with so many moving parts and inevitable changes along the way, it can be difficult not to veer off track with both your time and your expenses.
Moving to Digital Collaboration: Save Time and Money
