How MBI can help meet your challenges What is “modular construction” Analternative, off-site project delivery method used to construct code-compliant buildings in a quality-controlled setting inless time withreduced impact on the environment
Modular Construction All of these advantages typically result in COST SAVINGS for school districts due to a more efficient process, fewer labor hours, & fewer materials wasted
Process, not Product Think of modular as a “process” of construction, not a “product.” Using this process, you can build all types of facilities, including…
and permanent campuses . . . or permanent.
Advantages of Modular Shorter Construction Schedules Ability to deliver to remotelocations More environmentallyfriendly Construction off site=safer campus Quality controlled construction setting Regional fit, feel and looks to match environment
And its not just MBI saying it… “The life cycle expectancy of modular construction is the same as conventional, and in a world where sustainability is gaining momentum each day, there are also several basic principles intrinsic to the modular construction process that make it more eco-friendlythan conventional construction.” American Institute of Architects (AIA) -“External Issues & Trends Affecting Architects, Architectural Firms, and the AIA” -February 2008
