Jill Imig and Cory Powers share how embracing prefabricated modular components for healthcare projects can meet goals like quality, affordability, and speed in Engineered Systems Magazine.
It’s a well-known maxim that any project hoping for speed, quality, and affordability can only realistically hope to accomplish two of these goals — people call the trio an “unattainable triangle.” In a traditional health care construction project, it is often the case that meeting the rigorous standards essential for medical safety either pushes the budget or stretches the timeline for a new building. Recent innovations in prefabricated modular construction have the potential to upend these assumptions and allow the delivery of patient care units for hospitals and clinics that are engineered to the highest safety and efficiency specifications but simplified enough in manufacturing and assembly to enable rapid delivery at a reasonable cost.
