Is Wood Frame Modular the Future of Multi-Family Construction?
JMA Principal Matt Laase will examine unique design considerations, detailing and sourcing techniques, and review the advantages and challenges of the modular design/delivery process in a Woodworks presentation at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, June 17.
“If you’re hesitant to embrace the modular approach then this presentation is for you,” said Laase. “It’s a great opportunity for multi-family builders to learn about the unique advantages of wood-frame modular construction, and I look forward to dispelling the misconceptions about modular design and its limitations.”
Laase will be presenting alongside Aaron Miller from DCI Engineers who will offer insights on the building enclosure functions of heat, air, and moisture control in wood-frame buildings, and apply these concepts to the realities of modular construction. Joseph P. Piñon from RRDH Building Science will also present and focus on unique structural design considerations and constraints associated with modular projects.
