Presentation Summary
  • The Department of Army is undertaking several
    large scale facility projects that will require
    millions of square feet of modular building space
    over the next few years
  • Modularity Program
  • Training Doctrine Command
  • National Guard
  • Redeployment of Overseas Troops
  • Increase in Strength

Presentation Summary
  • Through a better understanding of modular
    construction, industry capabilities, methods of
    contracting, program creation and best practices
    in implementing a large scale modular
    construction program, the Department of Army can
  • Have Higher Quality, More Durable Buildings
  • Have Smoother Projects without sacrificing speed
    or quality
  • Achieve significant cost savings

Best Practices in Large Scale Modular
Construction Understand the Categories of
Modular Construction Methods of Contracting /
Methods of Implementation Difference between
Modular Program Development Site Construction
Large Scale Program Development / Design Intent
Working with Modular Builders Critical Elements
of Success
14
Best Practices
  • High quality, smooth cost effective large
    projects are not accidental!!!
  • They are the result of a systematic approach to
    large scale project management that recognizes
    that success is the result of certain practices.
  • This approach can be standardized
  • This brief presentation highlights some of the
    best practices in large scale modular
    construction
  • Best Practices Paper

15
Best Practices Highlights
  • In large scale projects, substantial cost
    savings, project flexibility, quality and time
    efficiencies are achieved by
  • Designing modular programs around modular
    construction!
  • Understand grades of modular buildings
  • Understand the industry
  • Understand capabilities one two story modular
    construction
  • Incorporating modular into program design intent
  • In many programs, modular is an after thought
  • Leverage economies of scale
  • Utilizing effective contracting programs
  • Minimize middlemen and non-active participants
  • Recognize when bundling is effective and when it
    is not!
  • Working as a team
  • Client, end user, contractor work as team to
    achieve clear goals
  • Meeting Critical Elements of Success

16
Best PracticeUnderstand Modular Construction
  • Understand the (3) Grades of Modular
    Construction, the advantages and disadvantages of
    each and utilize according to what best suits
    need.
  • Trailers
  • Modular Buildings
  • Permanent Modular Buildings
  • Differences in specifications, quality,
    durability and appropriateness for program
    development
  • Key Point Quality buildings are not a commodity
    item

17
Best PracticeUnderstand Modular Construction
  • Understand the industry
  • Dealers
  • Direct-Sell
  • Bundled vs. Unbundled services
  • Pros Cons

18
Best PracticeUnderstand Modular Construction
  • One vs. Two Story Construction

19
Best PracticeIncorporate Modular Rules in
Design Intent
  • Efficient site layouts
  • Maximize building space design
  • Make use of economies of scale
  • Maximize work done in plant
  • Understand regulatory environment

Generate Significant Cost Savings
20
Best PracticeUtilize Contracting Programs
Effectively
  • Formation of Project
  • Bundled vs. Unbundled
  • General Contractor v. Direct Sources
  • Means of contracting
  • Open competition
  • ID/IQ
  • GSA
  • 8(a), etc
  • Key point Minimize middlemen and non-active
    participants

21
Best Practice Partner for Success
  • Successful projects have strong, active
    partnership
  • Well defined project
  • Quick answers sign offs
  • Information dissemination

22
Best Practice Develop a Standardized Program
  • Create standardized system for
  • Program design
  • Efficient site layouts
  • Modular design intent
  • Building requirements
  • Quality of product
  • Apple to apple comparisons!
  • Contracting methods
  • Implementation Control

23
Summary
  • Modular construction projects cannot be taken for
    granted or passed off without loss of time,
    quality, money
  • By understanding modular construction and
    following best practices in developing a clear,
    focused approach to implementation, the
    Department of Army can
  • Save significant monies/Maximize budget
  • Standardize product and process for consistent
    results
  • Be more efficient in its use of resources
  • Acquire better quality and more durable buildings
  • Be able to successful manage increasing numbers
    of large scale projects simultaneously to meet
    space demands
  • Reduce time needed to implement large projects
