Blazer Industries - Clinique dentaire pédiatrique
La clinique dentaire pour enfants de Springfield a été conçue en pensant aux enfants. Contrairement à de nombreuses cliniques dentaires pédiatriques, ce bâtiment est agréable et amusant pour les enfants tout en ne les distrayant pas avec des technologies coûteuses utilisées pour atténuer l'anxiété de l'enfant lors de la visite. L'objectif du client était de fournir des soins de premier ordre à un prix abordable tout en minimisant les frais généraux supplémentaires. 
La fluidité de la clinique obtenue grâce à la conception et au travail de l'architecte d'intérieur crée une clinique hautement fonctionnelle sans le coût élevé d'éléments supplémentaires inutiles. La simplicité de la conception a permis une mise en place facile et efficace sur le site sans compromettre la vision du client.
Ce projet a été construit avec un entrepreneur qui comprend parfaitement le fonctionnement de la construction modulaire. Cela a permis une synchronisation parfaite entre l'achèvement de la production en usine et la nécessité de réaliser le projet sur le site.
Nous avons également travaillé en étroite collaboration avec l'entrepreneur pour délimiter l'étendue des travaux afin de maximiser la rapidité, l'efficacité et les économies de coûts de la construction modulaire, tout en conservant la flexibilité nécessaire pour répondre aux besoins du client. L'utilisation de la construction modulaire a permis de réduire le calendrier du projet, d'occuper les lieux plus tôt et d'obtenir un retour sur investissement plus rapide.

Mind the Gap: The Interface Between Onsite and Offsite Construction
Every design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) project — modular, mass timber, or panelized — is really two projects joined at a seam. One is built in a controlled factory to millimeter tolerances; the other in the field, in weather, to the looser tolerances of poured concrete and human hands. Between them sits an interface: where the factory’s precision meets the site’s reality.
Rules, Rails & Repeatability: Applying DfMA to Modular Healthcare
DfMA offers several advantages for healthcare projects, with faster delivery among the most valuable. Schedule matters when building new facilities, expanding campuses, renovating existing space or bringing care closer to communities that need it.
Precision and Possibility: Demands of DfMA and What Modular Mass Timber Makes Possible
Mass timber does not automatically create an efficient modular building. Its precision makes early coordination more important: fabricated components will accurately reproduce both the team’s solutions and its mistakes. The material’s advantages are realized only when supported by an equally precise design and delivery process.
Catch It in the Factory, Not in the Field: Smarter Testing for Modular Builds
Integrating watertightness and airtightness testing into factory workflows transforms quality assurance from a reactive process into a proactive commissioning strategy. It ensures that every module shipped is field ready and resilient for transportation while also supporting the ability of the modular construction industry to make buildings better.
Modular Construction Contracts: Key Considerations for Successful Canadian Projects
Starting a modular project with a well-developed contract protects both the owner and the contractor. It will help keep the project on track and on budget, and it will improve quality from the factory floor to final installation on-site.
Modular by Design: Turning Architecture into a Manufacturing System
Modular construction is often presented as a faster way to build. Speed, however, is only one part of its value. The larger opportunity is to create a coordinated design and production system that improves quality, reduces uncertainty, and allows a building to move efficiently from concept design through manufacturing, transportation, installation, and completion.
Repeatability Begins with Trust: What Alora at Dry Creek Reveals About Scaling Modular Housing
Alora at Dry Creek, a 329-unit, multifamily community comprising five four-story buildings in Centennial, Colorado, demonstrates how repeatable design, standardized manufacturing and early collaboration can work together to create a model that is not only faster to deliver, but easier to replicate across future projects.
T.R. Arnold: The Art of Third-Party Inspections
T.R. Arnold (TRA), a third-party inspection company in Elkhart, Indiana, contracts with modular manufacturers across the US. Manufacturers register with each state to which they intend to send their modules and may be required to hire a third-party inspection company.
Creating an ‘Ecosystem for Innovation:’ 50+ Years of Modular Construction Oversight in Virginia
Virginia’s modular building program began in 1973, with the implementation of the Virginia Industrialized Building Unit and Mobile Home Safety Regulations. Now it’s leading the country in modular code adoption.
Understanding Thermal Barriers Compliance Methods & Emerging NFPA-275 Foam Plastic Technologies
New fire barrier technologies are improving total costs and margins in major areas of construction, such as commercial, government, union and prevailing wage projects. These benefits translate into other large fringe areas, such as agriculture, commercial cold storage facilities, grow houses, outbuildings, military and aviation hangars.
