Welcome back to the sixth installment of OECM’s Industry Spotlight news resource, which features industry insights and market trends gathered and analyzed by OECM’s Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) team.
Modular construction presents a compelling solution for the public sector, addressing critical needs for efficiency, sustainability, and quality while effectively managing costs. In addition to significantly speeding up project timelines, modular construction is also more sustainable, reducing waste and carbon footprint and enhancing labour efficiency by centralizing work in a controlled environment. It also offers better cost management and high-quality results, making it an ideal choice for schools, colleges, universities, and municipalities, as well as healthcare, long-term care and recreational facilities.
With input from OECM’s trusted supplier partners on the Modular Buildings and Portable Classrooms agreement, including AMB Modular, BECC Modular, Fero International Inc., and NRB Inc., this issue of the Industry Spotlight explores the highs and lows of Modular Construction—its benefits, value, risks, and capabilities—as well as tips for maximizing opportunities and mitigating challenges at all stages of the modular building process.
