The article lists several examples of early 3D modular construction, including Hennebique\u00b4s concrete cabin for French railways (1896) and the <em>Maisons Voisin <\/em>(1919), which were 3D modular houses built by an airplane factory in France.<\/p>\n<p>Volumetric construction is now being used for a range of applications for the residential, commercial, and industrial construction markets. Common use cases include multifamily residential buildings, large institutional structures such as healthcare facilities and conference centers, and hotels.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|40px||40px||true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<h2>Benefits of Volumetric Modular Construction<\/h2>\n<p>A 2021 blog posted on NewEngineer explains <span><a href=\"https:\/\/newengineer.com\/blog\/3d-volumetric-construction-1513810\">the appeal of volumetric modular construction<\/a><\/span>, stating that this method of off-site construction \u201ccomes into its own when there is a requirement to erect a building quickly, to a high-quality standard and at reduced costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expedited logistics and parallel sequencing are among the many scheduling benefits volumetric modular construction offers. The site preparation work, underground utilities, and foundation work can be completed concurrently, providing extremely advantageous scheduling options for builders and their clients. According to a <span>2019 report<\/span> by McKinsey &amp; Company, volumetric modular construction can allow for <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/operations\/our-insights\/modular-construction-from-projects-to-products\">20\u201350% schedule compression<\/a><\/span>. Time savings of this magnitude yield many potential benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The reduced construction time allows builders to potentially reduce construction loan durations and finance costs, increase labor efficiency by reducing downtime, and perhaps most importantly, reduce the number of opportunities for something to go wrong. Reduced time on-site equates to reduced risk of weather-related delays and other challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Cost savings are a major benefit of volumetric modular construction projects. The NewEngineer article cited above indicates that modular construction can be 40\u201360% cheaper than traditional on-site construction.<\/p>\n<p>With increased institutional and consumer interest in sustainability \u2014 not to mention rapidly rising raw material costs around the world \u2014 volumetric off-site construction is also gaining in popularity based on its sustainability and increased material efficiency. Offsite Construction Expo points to research indicating that the use of modular construction can result in up to a <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.offsiteconstructionexpo.com\/modular-buildings\/\">90% reduction in waste<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|40px||40px||true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]\n<h2>Modern Approaches and Applications<\/h2>\n<p>The transformative potential of volumetric modular construction goes at least a step beyond other off-site construction methods because it eliminates so many environmental risks for builders. In many cases, modules are fabricated and shipped to the job site in a weather-tight condition, with interior finishes complete and secure inside each module.<\/p>\n<p>Space M2, an innovative, Sweden-based commercial contractor specializing in volumetric modular construction, describes their production model as a modern car factory \u2014 but for houses. Rather than simply moving outdoor construction processes indoors, the company\u2019s production model is organized and optimized for efficiency and integration, similar to the way modern automobile factories are designed. The outcome for Space M2\u2019s customers is affordable, high-quality houses manufactured efficiently in optimal conditions. To learn more about Space M2, refer to this <span><a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/2020\/08\/11\/space-m2\/\">case study<\/a><\/span> by my company, <span><a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/\">Vertex Systems<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Once the modules are constructed in the factory, they are shipped to the site, set in place, and connected. Offsite Construction Expo explains the <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.offsiteconstructionexpo.com\/modular-buildings\/\">conclusion of a typical volumetric construction project<\/a><\/span>, stating that \u201cmateline finishes, exterior systems such as cladding and roofing components and internal spaces like lobbies, stairwells, [and] elevator shafts\u201d are completed on-site once the modules are arranged into the larger structure.<\/p>\n<p>Inspections and punch lists are typically then completed so the owner can begin moving into the new building.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|40px||40px||true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<h2>How Vertex Systems Accelerates Design and Production of Volumetric Modular Construction<\/h2>\n<p><span><a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/\"><strong>Vertex BD<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is a building information modeling (BIM) software platform that automates design and manufacturing processes for off-site construction. Vertex Systems created this software to simplify the process of translating essential project information across all disciplines involved in producing each module. For any volumetric modular construction project, the plans, schedules, material reports, and manufacturing data can be created and saved within the software for distribution and coordination.<\/p>\n<p>The software also offers powerful visualization tools. These detailed visualizations help our customers identify and correct design glitches and oversights before the modules go into production.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn More About Off-site Construction<\/h2>\n<p>The growth of volumetric modular construction may be the most important trend in off-site construction in the coming years, and a large number of our customers have already embraced this method. Check out our case studies to learn more about companies that are reshaping their markets with this innovative and sustainable approach to construction.<\/p>\n<p>In the next blog in this series, I\u2019ll cover hybrid off-site construction approaches, where volumetric, panelized, and other methods are used together to maximize design possibilities.
