Learning Objective 1:
The participant should be able to identify the different types of modular construction, select the optimal method and justify the selection based on project requirements.
Learning Objective 2:
The participant should be able to articulate the benefits of modular construction in terms of resource conservation, as well as time and cost efficiencies in comparison to site-built construction.
Learning Objective 3:
The participant should be able to successfully navigate state-level modular programs and building codes and formulate an approach to permitting and approvals.
Learning Objective 4:
The participant should be able to explain the basic project delivery methods in terms of design considerations and constraints, site access and staging, as well as financing of modular projects.
