Prefabrication and Modular Construction:
Providing Value from a Builders Perspective
Shannon Lightfoot BIM Manager || McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.
A prefabrication strategy allows for the practice of lean concepts, while delivering a
successful project. Various projects types fit the mold for prefabrication, including hospitals,
institutions, hotels, and industrial facilities. All of these types of projects have something in
common; highly-repetitive building components and systems. By incorporating a
prefabrication strategy, a number of benefits are achievable. This class will focus on a
recently completed Healthcare project in which prefabrication was used and highlight how
this strategy reduced material handling, minimized construction waste, reduced delivery
impacts to a congested site, improved the construction schedule, improved the quality of
work, and reduced safety incidents.
Class summary
At the end of this class, you will be able to:
Engage the design team, subcontractors, and owner to plan for prefabrication in the
design phase
Recognize opportunities to implement a prefabrication strategy in different project
delivery methods
Understand how BIM plays an important role in early decision making, collaboration,
and coordination of multiple trades
Understand the potential cost savings and productivity increase when implementing
this approach
