Paired with the sleigh bells and the Christmas carols, comes the “Naughty and Nice List.” At Aries, we work hard all year to be on our customers’ good side as the best modular building company. That means doing the best job in modular, bar none. We have the best modular construction and the highest quality modular buildings on the market, and that’s just the way we like it.
What does it take to be on the “Nice List” as the best in modular? Here’s a “Naughty and Nice List” of the best and worst practices in the modular industry.
“Naughty List”:
Relying on the attractiveness of the product while neglecting service and company culture.
Modular solves many of the world’s most pressing problems. There’s wide consensus that modular is gaining strength and is poised to change the construction industry. As an environmentally friendly way to supply affordable housing, many cities see hope in modular building progress.
Yet, as the modular B2 in Atlantic Yards Brooklyn proves, having a great product is only half the battle. The B2 Tower was “delayed, stalled, and since re-started to reach half its ultimate height—[and] will take more than twice as long as promised and cost far more than projected.” While more than just managerial conflicts caused this unimpressive result, better team cohesion across all the moving parts of this project could have helped foresee and prevent many of the obstacles.
The lesson? Creating a strong, experienced group of workers to back up the product can ensure the success of modular buildings. And the B2 project? Despite its innumerable setbacks, it was still done in less time and more affordably than traditional construction.
Relying on modular’s simplicity while ignoring the potential variables.
Prefabricated modular construction skirts many of the major risks involved with traditional construction, from weather delays to job-site accidents and low worker productivity. Yet inexperienced modular workers often fail to consider all the factors that go into a successful set-up for modular buildings. This false sense of comfort can work against them when the rubber hits the road. Proper preparation prevents setbacks. Consequently, all it takes is attentiveness to the client for facilitators to understand what they’ll need for a proper set-up.
The lesson? The best modular building companies listen intently to their clients. From finding job sites that haven’t been assigned an address, to robotic pullers which can place modular buildings where trucks can’t reach, every job comes with its own set of complications. Those who do the best job in modular know that listening can prevent these problems from becoming obstacles to final delivery.
Getting caught in the old-fashioned idea that modular means one-size-fits-all.
Times are changing. From digitalization to new manufacturing methods, clients can expect more than ever from their modular buildings. For instance, Classrooms with sliding doors, modules with extra security features, and office complexes with technological interfaces have all become standard practice for the best modular building companies. They supply turnkey solutions that give the client peace of mind. When they sign the contract, they get a hassle-free solution to their most pressing needs.
A prime example of this is the hazard resistant modular buildings which are created to withstand explosions, debris, as wells as heat at high-risk facilities. These awesome structures utilize concrete instead of steel to give their building the required characteristics, without betraying their modular nature and the associated benefits. That flexibility is the future of modular.
The lesson? Great modular construction companies understand that they should tackle the customization mountain, rather than depend on a one-size-fits-all approach. Despite the relative ease of modular construction, companies should focus on providing turnkey solutions. That is to say that the building’s stairs, plumbing, accessories, as well as licenses are complete for the client.
