BUILDING A SCHOOL, A BETTER WAY TO BUILD

This modular school campus project consists of 40 modular sections, and the magic is they are in place in less than a week!    WOW, a 40,000 sq. ft. school set in place in less than a week!

There are still some finishes that need completed, but the building sections will be weather tight and closed up before the winter storms hit.  All of the  modular sections were constructed off-site at our local factory, using local labor & materials and sub contractors.

For more information on school construction or Cooperative procurement visit with our N.C.A.R.B. certified preconstruction team.

WHAT IS CFS? IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

A great article on Cold Formed Steel (CFS) construction.  Many agencies and the private sector are choosing  CFS, you need to decide if it is right for your project.

For years there has been a debate if steel or wood construction is a better alternative.  The only solid answer to that is discuss the pros and cons on your project to see what is a better fit.


In the world of modular and prefabrication where time serves as the driving monetary value, CFS makes sense on many projects.   With the ability to order customized special materials delivered straight to site, with no additional cutting or labor investment, you can save a substantial amount of time.  Another large benefit is the cradle to grave recycle factor.



Wood framing has many benefits including fire treated wood, commercially available product, LEED points for being locally sourced.

Piece by piece: New Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig school comes together in...

Mobilize our factory in "anytown" USA

Modular Solutions, Ltd recently took our factory "on-the-road".  We brought our technology and experience using prefabricated construction, and mobilized near the site.  By hiring local crews, and team members we generated jobs within the local economy, and did not have the huge shipping costs frequently associated with prefabricated construction.

This approach was well received by the local tribe and agency and a 45,000 sq. ft. school will be completed by the end of the year.

When completed this will be the end result
