A practical, hands-on guide to offsite preassembly, beginning with
the project as just a concept gleam in the CEO's eye and winding
all the way through implementation at the construction site.
Modularization is a philosophy change! And along with that change,
comes the need to understand the implementation requirements and
project mindset adjustments that impact and influence all aspects
of the modular project. To accomplish this, the book provides a
complete (from beginning to end) identification and evaluation of
the differences that make a modular project unique, starting with
the very basics in terms of definitions and setting the groundwork
of expectations by identifying benefits and challenges. Then,
because the journey is as important as the destination, the reader
is guided through the various project phases in a manner that
reflects how they would be addressed in the workplace. From the
very earliest identification of concepts, through early assessment
and selection of the optimal choice to be finally carried into
detailed design, the reader is acquainted with each phase of the
process development process, including explanations and relevant
suggestions for many of the questions and issues that typically
come up. A perfect reference for professional and technical leaders
when developing the early, critical planning phases of modular
projects, this guide offers useful examples and details on the
fundamentals required to get a modular project started correctly
and keep it on track. And, for those whom this is not their first
foray into modular project management, this guide includes
suggestions, examples, and/or lessons learned to make the
subsequent module projects easier to implement. Recognized industry
experts, Michael Kluck and Dr. Jin Ouk Choi, have authored this
guide to modularization that is ideal for owners, contractors,
project management, engineers, project controls and procurement--in
fact, anyone interested in improving current construction project
management practices. In addition, its thought-provoking examples
and project case studies provide the perfect platform for its
instructional use in teaching modular concepts. Written from the
perspective of both the Client / Owner and the EPC Contractor, this
guide provides useful information needed for initial project
management setup and technical details useful to working functional
groups within the project. As such, it is truly a universal guide
that can provide personnel at all levels within the project with
the information needed to make project implementation more
seamless. This book is written in terms of the large-scale
industrial modularization project, but the steps and process are
equally applicable to small-scale projects and projects outside the
industrial construction realm. Some of the topics covered in this
guide include: The basics (to set a basis for major topic
presentations) Module configurations ("good, bad, and ugly") A deep
dive into modularization business case Module team and project
interactions Module execution planning and timing Success factors,
pitfalls and avoidance A walk through the "module project" A
modular project case exercise - tying it all together
Standardization - the next step What the future holds
