Book excerpt: The "Developers Guide to Modular Housing" offers a wealth of key insights that are essential for developers, architects, and anyone interested in the world of modular housing. This comprehensive guide provides a systematic approach to understanding and implementing modular housing solutions, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate this rapidly growing industry successfully. One of the key insights highlighted in the book is the rise of modular housing driven by statistics, trends, and key factors. The book delves into these factors, shedding light on why modular construction has become increasingly popular. For example, it explores how cost-effectiveness is a significant advantage of modular construction. By utilizing factory production techniques and economies of scale, modular housing can be more affordable compared to traditional construction methods. Another important insight discussed in the book is the sustainability aspect of modular housing. With growing concerns about environmental impact and resource depletion, modular construction offers a more sustainable alternative. The controlled environment of factories allows for better waste management and recycling practices, reducing the overall carbon footprint associated with construction projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Prefab Architecture . . . is beyond theory, and beyond most of what we think we know about pods, containers, mods, and joints. This book is more than 'Prefabrication 101.' It is the Joy of Cooking writ large for the architecture and construction industries." From the Foreword by James Timberlake, FAIA THE DEFINITIVE REFERENCE ON PREFAB ARCHITECTURE FOR ARCHITECTS AND CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS Written for architects and related design and construction professionals, Prefab Architecture is a guide to off-site construction, presenting the opportunities and challenges associated with designing and building with components, panels, and modules. It presents the drawbacks of building in situ (on-site) and demonstrates why prefabrication is the smarter choice for better integration of products and processes, more efficient delivery, and realizing more value in project life cycles. In addition, Prefab Architecture provides: A selected history of prefabrication from the Industrial Revolution to current computer numerical control, and a theory of production from integrated processes to lean manufacturing Coverage on the tradeoffs of off-site fabrication including scope, schedule, and cost with the associated principles of labor, risk, and quality Up-to-date products featuring examples of prefabricated structure, enclosure, service, and nterior building systems Documentation on the constraints and execution of manufacturing, factory production, transportation, and assembly Dozens of recent examples of prefab projects by contemporary architects and fabricators including KieranTimberlake, SHoP Architects, Office dA, Michelle Kaufmann, and many others In Prefab Architecture, the fresh approaches toward creating buildings that accurately convey ature and expanded green building methodologies make this book an important voice for adopting change in a construction industry entrenched in traditions of the past.

Book Developing with Manufactured Homes

Download or read book Developing with Manufactured Homes written by Steve Hullibarger and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most completely finished variation of industrialized housing is the manufactured home. Many people still refer to these homes as mobile homes, even though they are rarely, if ever, moved. Developing with Manufactured Homes illustrates how the manufactured housing industry functions & how the homes are constructed. It explains how developers can make use of the industrialized approach to building, in lieu of the increasingly cumbersome "stick" building process. Elementary concepts in land selection, acquisition, the public approval process, development & construction are not covered in this book, except to the extent that the use of manufactured housing would dictate a significant variation in practice as compared to building homes on site. The primary focus throughout the text is on fee simple development-merging the house with the land to create a singular title of real estate. Although the emphasis is on subdivisions, planned unit developments & urban infill lots as opposed to the development of land-lease communities, many of the subjects covered are applicable to all of the above modes of land use. This book is an indispensable guide for any builder, developer or student interested in taking advantage of the opportunities in manufactured housing development.

Book Prefab Housing and the Future of Building

Download or read book Prefab Housing and the Future of Building written by Mathew Aitchison and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we stand on the cusp of a fundamental restructuring of the housing and building industries, this book provides timely insights into the promise of prefabricated housing. The idea of a more industrialised approach to house building is not a new one: since the 19thcentury, designers, inventors, engineers, builders, developers, and entrepreneurs have all been fascinated by the idea of the factory-built, modular home. But international housing affordability crises, emerging technologies, and concerns for more sustainable building practices have given a new urgency to the need to transform building construction in the 21st century.Richly illustrated and drawing on historical examples and contemporary design studies, the book takes the reader through the foundations of prefab, leading up to a discussion of contemporary problems and opportunities. It includes a broad international survey of leading companies and their products, and draws on research from an international team of experts in the field. This book suggests a future scenario for industrialised house building that will both challenge the existing industry and stimulate the public imagination.

Book Modular Design Frameworks

Download or read book Modular Design Frameworks written by James Cabrera and published by Apress. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the basic principles of modular design, and then put them into action to create sites that are easy to use, look great, and can be adapted within the context of your business needs. With author James Cabrera—one of the thought leaders in the modular-design movement—you'll create a single, scalable project for a sample nameplate site and then adapt that same project to work successfully as a portfolio site, an e-commerce site, and finally as a news/publishing content site. Along the way, you'll learn the scientific approach to devising a sound and scalable design strategy, followed by establishing a basic foundation using various criteria relevant to that type of site. As each chapter progresses, you'll add new concepts appropriate for the project type. Modular web and app design isn't just for so-called "creatives." It's a teachable science with principles that can be replicated in a creative manner. This approach makes the design decision making process for businesses much easier (and easier to live with). And modular design is a powerful tool for software designers to replicate effective successful designs across a spectrum of needs. What You'll Learn Examine the design process in a modular way Adapt your HTML code to create different types of applications Establish your own modular framework for your specific site's goals Design for scale Develop a strong foundation skeleton for design Who This Book Is For User experience designers, user interface designers, information architects, developers with an interest in design, developers who want to create their own design frameworks.

Book excerpt: Building Systems Magazine (BSM) is an award winning United States-based trade magazine read by builders, developers and general contractors using or considering using innovative construction technologies. Once commonly known as "pre-fab," today's modern building systems employ innovative materials and techniques to create residential or commercial structures in a factory setting in a fraction of the time it takes to site build. BSM focuses mainly on log, timber frame, modular, panel, and structural insulated panel building technologies. Since factory fabrication and site preparation take place simultaneously, structures are finished and ready for occupancy in weeks, rather than months or years as required by conventional site-building schedules.
