Course Description

Due to skilled labor shortages, compressed schedules, and the potential for greater quality control, off-site wood construction has become increasingly popular. This presentation will cover the unique design and construction techniques associated with pre-fabricated and off-site panelized wood systems. An introduction to the different levels of off-site construction and review of associated products and services will be followed by a demonstration of cost and schedule benefits based on real-world projects. A step-by-step process will be presented for designers new to off-site construction, with information on how to find and utilize partners and resources, the integrated design process, and differences compared to traditional on-site methods. Trends and future projections for the use of off-site construction, as well as its advantages, will also be reviewed.

Discuss factors such as skilled labor shortages and potential for greater quality control that have prompted the increased use of off-site wood construction.

Learning Objectives

Using commercial and multi-family case studies, review the cost and schedule savings realized through the use of off-site wood construction.

Highlight design and construction techniques unique to off-site construction such as assembly selection, sequencing and parallel construction.

Demonstrate the tools available to design and construction professionals looking to implement off-site construction, such as design resources, partners and industry associations, and 3D modeling methods.

Montage Design & Building

“Montage is about prefabrication and assembly...the dual nature is identified by the dichotomy be-tween montage as a construction strategy and montage as a aesthetic strategy.

...a way of thinking about architecture as an instru-ment rather than a monument..” - Charlotte Bundgaard, Montage Revisted

Montage - Any combination of disparate elements that forms or is felt to form a unified whole.

How to get Started

Need site space• Deliveries• Boom truck or crane• Evaluate Access

Partners• Build a Team• Decide where

info will live.

Different flow to decisions making and commitments• Get Everything in Model Early• Work the Model • Rely on Model

Important Differences

On-Site• Schedule allows for field changes• Each step adjusts to previous dimension

and (in)accuracy

Off-Site• Less Design Flexibility• Accuracy is paramount - site portion affect install fit• Cost may or may not be higher, however time=$• Anticipate need to protect installed finish materials• Design the schedule and share extensively

A Better Way to Build

• Build time will be 20 days vs 100 – 260 days• Off-Site Impact: 75% vs 10% to 30%• Safe working conditions• Consistent working conditions• Good Jobs:

• Discipline, Training, Skills• Empowerment; low turnover

Montage = Combination of Disparate Elements that Forms or is Felt to Form a Whole, Unified, Singular Image
