C. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

Question 5 *

How is quality ensured in modular construction?

A. Through many different delivery methods, allowing for more freedom in construction

B. Modular building factories are dedicated to crafting highly efficient buildings with inspections at each station, eliminating variability in decisions or unexpected complications that can occur in the field.

C. Increased transportation logistics and legal code restrictions

Question 6 *

How does the process of modular construction differ form conventional construction?

A. Modular buildings are often completed 30-50% faster than conventional structures.

B. Built to a lower standard of quality

C. Less supervision of labor

Question 7 *

Explain how modular construction saves time as compared to traditional construction.

A. Zoning rules on modular construction

B. Increased transportation time

C. While modules are built in controlled off-site location, site work can occur at the same time.

Question 8 *

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages in using modular construction?

A. An advantage being easier access to tools and disadvantage being material delivers taking longer

B. An advantage is being able to reduce construction waste and a disadvantage can be the inability to have rooms with especially high ceilings.

C. An advantage is decreased ability to make changes and disadvantage is material quality stuck in one area

Question 9 *

Explain the properties of steel, aluminum, concrete and wood in terms of how they are applied in modular construction. 

A. Due to the strength of steel, it can difficult to put together into panels and modules

B. Prefabrication in a factory allows the wood to stay dry and at a constant temperature while being precisely cut and fitted to exacting tolerances.

C. Concrete in modular construction is typically used on homes due to it's ability to withstand more
