This presentation presents a breakdown of the various volumetric modular systems and when to use them. Volumetric modular construction integrates multiple building systems (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc.) into an off-site fabrication process to minimize construction time, improve quality, and maintain a skilled labor force. This presentation will examine advantages and disadvantages for various systems currently in use to recommend a preferred application; as well as educate on the limitations of each system to avoid encountering pitfalls when considering a modular construction technique.
