Posts about the construction industry overall and the Epsilon Industries methodology for off-site construction.
Last year was an exciting but tumultuous one for the construction industry across multiple sectors as manufacturers and contractors balanced increasing demand and supply chain disruption. As we turn our attention to 2022, the Epsilon team identified a number of likely scenarios for the coming…
The Epsilon team attended the recent “Advancing Data Center Construction” conference in Dallas. It was another solid Hanson Wade event, and a great opportunity to reconnect with folks in the industry. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of focus and emphasis on Off-Site Construction…
Virtually every industry seeks continuous improvement, often focused on processes and people. When there are multiple teams of players on a project, it can be a tangle of lost quality, efficiency, and effectiveness. Whether it’s a sub-contractor that has different crews or a crew whose…
Off-site construction continues to grow worldwide. According to a recent Grand View Research study, the compound annual growth rate for modular construction is expected to exceed 6.5% through 2025. While those numbers include residential modular construction, equally strong growth is predicted for the commercial, healthcare,…
Most contractors, construction managers, and design teams recognize the inherent advantages that factory-built modular construction offers in terms of quality, schedule, and overall risk management. What many building owners are coming to realize are the benefits factory construction provides when upgrading systems in occupied buildings….
One important aspect of Off-Site Construction is the ability to inspect and track the progress of systems being designed and built in a factory environment, in parallel with on-site activities. As part of our drive to accelerate the adoption of Off-Site Construction, Epsilon has been…
If the past year has taught us anything, it is the importance of balancing flexibility with preparation and well-developed processes. For many in the construction industry, 2020 and the first half of 2021 involved massive changes, including adapting to travel restrictions, labor impacts, supply chain…
Anyone familiar with modular construction, or our previous Epsilon posts for that matter, is aware of the typical value proposition: compressed schedule, cost certainty, and reduction in field labor. These attributes have been and will continue to be strong drivers in the proliferation of modular…
