Webinar: CSA Z250 and Standardization in Modular Construction

Description

CSA Group’s newly published standard “CSA Z250 – Process for Delivery of Volumetric Modular Buildings,” describes the main differences between traditional and modular construction, helping those involved in regulatory permitting, inspection, and approvals better understand the offsite building component, quality control programs, and certification processes. Specifically, this standard describes the processes for the delivery of permanent volumetric modular buildings, where modules are constructed in a factory, and addresses:

a) design;

b) quality control in modular manufacturing;

c) approvals;

d) logistics, transportation and storage;

e) non-modular and modular sitework;

f) lifting, placement, and setting;

g) installation and finishing; and

h) commissioning and handover.
