Located at the heart of the urban landscape, the Navigation Center stands as a symbol of optimism for individuals in search of refuge. This establishment transcends mere architectural significance; it epitomizes a dedicated pledge to uphold human dignity, with a paramount focus on the well-being of its inhabitants. CERACLAD panels were thoughtfully selected for exterior cladding, embodying the center’s ethos of resilience and empathy. Let us delve into the core principles that elevate this facility beyond a mere lodging.
Faster Build Times: Modular construction accelerates project timelines by 20 to 50 percent by producing standardized components off-site and assembling them on-site. Now, CERACLAD Panels’ Caulk-Free Joiner System complements this efficiency.
1. Improved Quality Control: The controlled factory environment ensures consistent quality in the production of modular components. Additionally, CERACLAD stands out as the most High-Performance Fiber Cement Siding in the Industry, backed by a 20-year Color Warranty and a 30-year Product Warranty.
2. Reduced Waste: Prefabrication minimizes material waste, leading to more efficient resource utilization. Notably, CERACLAD Panels have dimensions of 10’ × 18" × 5/8", matching the height of modular units.
3. Increased Flexibility: Modular systems allow for flexibility in design and customization, making it easier to adapt to changing project requirements. CERACLAD Panels offer versatile designs through Vertical, Horizontal, Mixed vertical and horizontal, and Free-Size Running Bond applications, along with Unlimited Color Options.
4. Cost Savings: While capturing the full cost benefits can be complex, modular construction has the potential to yield significant savings by optimizing material choices and assembly processes. Notably, CERACLAD is the most Cost-Effective Fiber Cement Siding in the Industry, as demonstrated by the Value & Cost Comparison Chart.
5. Safer Work Environment: With much of the construction activity moved off-site, on-site safety risks are reduced. CERACLAD further contributes to safety by providing HPD certificates to workers.
6. Improved Sustainability: Modular construction reduces site disruption, and vehicular traffic, and enhances overall safety and security. CERACLAD’s Sustainable Framework aims to reduce our product’s Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050.
