Building Piece by Piece with Modular Construction
Every construction project comes with risk. In the case of hotel construction, which is booming with over 3,800 active projects, risk comes in many forms, including project delays, inclement weather concerns, rising labor costs and quality control issues. However, one hotel construction method addresses these risks head on by fabricating buildings in a controlled environment – modular building technology.
In a recent Lodging Magazine feature, Caili Birdsall explained just how modular construction minimizes risk:
Modular construction involves assembling a new building out of factory-created, preassembled pieces. Building a new property with modular components cuts down on labor costs, as well as decreases building time, getting new properties on the market sooner. Modular construction also reduces the risk of material shortages, safety issues, weather disruption, budget overages, and issues with quality control. While certain areas of the hotel are unfinished to allow for electrical and plumbing work, the rest of the building can be stacked together from completed pieces, almost like LEGOs.
