Modular

Why Modular?

“Modular” is an offsite construction building technology most effective when done with a high volume of repetition. When we can build numerous similar modules in a factory-controlled process, we can create a high standard of quality and repetition that erects on a job site at mind-blowing speeds. Having tight controls not subjected to the instability of weather through utilizing shop floor production within a controlled environment means no more delays or damaged products due to natural weather conditions. When scheduled right, an entire building can be put together within days in lieu of months, complete with finishes and fixtures ready for occupancy. Working with manufacturers not subjected to areas of higher wage rates also lends the system to cost savings, which is helpful in busy times or over-inflated, high-cost markets.

"An experienced Modular Design Team helps Bridge the Gap between the traditional design process and the factory manufacturing needs."

– Troy Tiddens | Modular Specialist & Project Manager

Modular Project Examples

Practical, Efficient, Repeatable

Modular construction is a building technology. If you have a product that can lend itself to any sort of regularity and repeat in layout, modular construction should certainly come to the forefront as a potential method of construction for your project. Whether that is multifamily, hospitality, single family attached or detached housing, modular lends itself to be a cost-effective and higher quality product than that of site-built construction.

Not many architecture and engineering firms can say they have deep expertise in modular construction. Not only have we been designing for offsite construction for over a decade, but we have also built a specialized team dedicated exclusively to it over the past several years, known as the EVolution Studio. With clients like Marriott promoting the modular industry, we see this as a serious part of the marketplace that will continue growing. Our staff has not only produced For-Permit Construction drawings, but we have also worked hand in hand utilizing 3D software (Revit and StrucSoft) in partnership with our modular manufacturer network to share and generate shop drawing level production. We know the ins and outs of the industry at a hammer and nail level of detail, knowing that when we design your modular project it will be optimized for modular construction and reap the maximum rewards for your project.

Smooth and Easy Point of Contact

Our team isn’t comprised of just architects and engineers. We are experts working through the technical aspects of planning, simplifying the process with invaluable coordination of on-site feasibility, density, master and community planning, entitlements, and a myriad of other planning services. Our combined proficiencies mitigate lengthy, superfluous efforts in the planning process. We also have an extensive network of manufacturers, experienced General Contractors, Set and Stitch contractors, and everyone else you need for a successful project.
