We pride ourselves in providing the highest quality products and services in the industry!

OUR PROCESS:

It starts up front with the responsiveness of our sales team. When a project is launched, sales, project management and engineering work closely to develop modular solutions to achieve all design and functional criteria. We then initiate a review that incorporates input from each department, to affirm a systematic construction plan.

A set of engineered construction prints are then drafted in-house and submitted for State approval.

When released to production, we continue our review in real time. Our project managers maintain their involvement, and QC works hand-in-hand with each department to monitor specifications, materials and workmanship.

State or state-certified code inspectors also visit our factories during production, as they do all traditional building sites, to verify construction meets applicable building codes.

Finally, when the project is completed, we look at results from a "closed loop" perspective.  More simply put, we believe something can be learned from every project that will help improve future methods, products and pricing. ____________________________________________

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION is PROVEN to PERFORM MUCH BETTER!

Wood frame modular building system. WOOD FRAME:  When compared to on-site methods, the integrity of modular structures is proven inherently more rigid and performs much better than conventional framing. See FEMA Report

When it comes to durability, both methods utilize identical - or comparable - materials and plan-specified widows, doors, fixtures, hardware, trim and finishes. Both methods also conform to the same regional, state and local building codes and requirements. Building materials kept clean and dry.

A key benefit of modular wood framing is that construction takes place indoors, where lumber and other materials are kept clean and dry. Quality is improved as moisture never becomes closed (trapped) inside structural cavities which can cause floors to buckle and squeak, walls and ceilings to crack, and mold and mildew to grow - as trapped moisture slowly dissipates. Building indoors also accelerates the entire construction process eliminating weather delays and lowering your overall costs.

Pre-engineed jig used to assemble modular building wall.(Left photo) All framing lumber is clamped onto flat, square, engineered jigs then assembled using mechanical fasteners and adhesives to prevent loosening or separation. Sections are then insulated and carefully lifted into position with hydraulic cranes. This process produces quality that simply cannot be duplicated on a job site.

Steel framed modular building construction. STEEL FRAME:  This building system is our solution for non-combustible construction. Or in regions where wood is more susceptible to boring insects, mold and mildew. 

With its superior strength-to-weight ratio, and fastening system that utilizes screws, bolts and welds, the cold-formed steel frame can offer better performance under seismic stress and high winds.

BENEFITS of OUR STEEL FRAMING SYSTEM:

  • A non-combustible and non-toxic building material.

  • Fastening system better resists high wind and seismic stress.

  • Higher strength-to-weight ratio.

  • Galvanized to resist corrosion and rust, and will never dry rot.

  • Evenly spaced access holes for future cabling, plumbing, etc.

  • Resists boring insects and eliminates treatments.

  • Will not absorb water, mold, mildew or outgas chemicals.

  • Frame will not swell and shrink as humidity fluctuates.

Steel frame and concrete building system. CONCRETE FLOOR SYSTEM:  Nothing is quieter under foot or more stable than a solid concrete sub-floor! 

Our sub-floor system consists of steel frame and cross members, rigid board insulation, a ribbed steel composite deck, cast-in welded wire or fiber mesh reinforcement and regular or lightweight mix concrete. The total slab thickness will vary depending on load requirements. See Specifications

This system is designed to integrate perfectly with either of our wood or steel frame systems.  It is used to meet various construction classifications, including the non-combustible class, load requirements, or simply a personal preference.

To complete this system, choose any standard or designer floor tile, carpeting, real or composite wood, or application of a chemical or slip-resistant coating.
