Here are a top 10 reasons why Off Site Construction is GREAT:
- There is a faster ROI for the owner of a modular building.
- Fewer dollars are spent on construction loans for the owner.
- Lower building permit fees (and fewer onsite inspections)
- Design defects are eliminated at an early stage of construction at the factory, which significantly reduces on site change orders, schedule delays and cost of the changes.
- Less onsite space is needed for storage of materials, minimal neighborhood disturbance, and reduced construction-related noise, dust, erosion and damage to existing landscape.
- The general contractor is tying up bonding fees for less time with fewer subcontractors (which saves you money)
- Less workers onsite equals less liability insurance needed for the site, and for a shorter amount of time.
- The general contractor needs less supervision staff on site than they would normally need with a site-built project.
- Lead times are reduced by increasing predictability and reducing uncertainty due to external factors such as absenteeism, weather, accidents and subcontractor schedules.
- Onsite production increases where there are ordinarily limits due to seasonal limitations (i.e. snow in the wintertime).
