This is also when the utilities are extended from the original access point to the connection to the building, including domestic and fire safety water, sanitary and storm sewers, gas, and electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Set the Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a modular <a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/\">build<\/a>, the design of the foundation is dictated by the geo-technical investigation, the climate, and the modular plans themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Modular buildings with floor assemblies may require a crawlspace, which will vary in size depending on the required under-floor access. Modular buildings without floor assemblies typically require a reinforced slab.<\/p>\n<p>Just like traditional construction, there are different options for PMC attachments to foundation on-site, so the International Building Code is used to determine the construction type used for each building project. PMC may be constructed from hot-rolled steel, lightweight steel, precast, mass timber, or light-wood frames.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Install the Crane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Almost all modular builds require a crane to lift and set the large, heavy modules. There are two methods that can be used for the lifting process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A spreader bar with belt strap to hold the modular box from underneath<\/li>\n<li>Pick points are connected to the corners of the module before being lifted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Either way, the lifting strategy needs to be decided on from the start, detailed in the plans for the modular structure, and engineered in a way that ensures a safe and level lift. All of this requires adequate manpower and precise scheduling.<\/p>\n<p>The days when you&#8217;ll be lifting and placing the modules must be planned down to the minute. Access between the staging areas and crane lift points needs to be completely clear and, once the modules are placed, they need to be welded or bolted together and then attached to the foundation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Address the Building Envelope<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once the modules have been places and secured, infill sheathing is installed at all matelines (the joints between modules). There&#8217;s no sheathing in these areas, so the modules can properly attach to one another and create the appearance of a consistent fa\u00e7ade from the exterior.<\/p>\n<p>Installing a weather barrier around the building envelope is also critical to protect the modules. To do this, the install team and finishers work quickly to seam the roof, add water plans and wall cladding where required, and install a commercial front (if dictated in the design).<\/p>\n<p>Once construction is complete, a final finish is applied to the building (the type of finish depends on the geographical region or building type), and you&#8217;re just a few steps away from finishing your project.<\/p>\n<p>In our next blog, we&#8217;ll wrap up this series with everything you need to know to successfully finalize your off-site project.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#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<p><strong>To learn more about prefab building methods <a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/e-book-how-to-save-time-and-money-with-prefab\/\">download our free eBook.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f9f9f9&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/6.png&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3977&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/CTA_BD_20221.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Vertex BD Free Trial&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/free-trial\/&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Related Services&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Rubik|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<h2>Related Stories<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;3&#8243; show_author=&#8221;off&#8221; show_date=&#8221;off&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_blog][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/bd\/case-studies\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;View All&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;rgba(12,113,195,0.75)&#8221; button_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With permanent modular construction (or PMC), you build with modules, so you spend 90% of the pre-construction time in the design and submittal phase.
