Common Pitfalls in Offsite Manufacturing and How to Avoid Them
In the ever evolving world of modular construction, consistency and performance are key deliverables to ensure success. As the industry grows, there is need to provide tried and tested solutions that offer proven and reliable solutions. Delivering these practices reduce the risk of common pitfalls and enhance efficiency and improve project outcomes. In this article, we explore how the Tremco CPG Offsite Solutions team can assist in specifying the most efficient solutions for your project.
Tried & Tested Solutions
Tried and tested solutions are great, they present a solution that has been used again and again that’s delivered reliable results to a common faced problem. Without having these solutions in place leaves the door open to risks that could have been fixed if addressed early enough.
For example, not having a proper solution to window and modular joints can cause water leakage and damage to modules. Further water ingress could include risk of water ingress, reducing the effectiveness of the thermal bridge and case air leakage.
Using proven methods of construction enables manufacturers to replicate solutions across projects and production lines confidently, increasing the predictability and reliability in offsite modular construction.
Achieving Maximum Efficiency
Modular construction is intended to be faster and leaner than traditional builds. Being unable to meet the quota due to lack of factory optimisation undermines the logic in these advantages.
Without efficient workflows, projects can experience waste in material and a lack of package optimisation all of which reduce profit margins. Evaluating these processes is a good start to understanding how efficiency can be boosted by making changes.
Cost Effective
To stay competitive, modular construction needs to match or beat the cost of traditional building methods. While offsite construction offers clear benefits such as faster build times and better quality control, these advantages only matter if they are cost effective.
Keeping costs low in modular construction depends on smart planning and efficient processes. Looking at the production process by conducting a line walk is an efficient way to pin point bottle necks that can be changed by way of saving costs. Read more here.
