Modular Construction

URBING development properties are built using inter-connecting modules that are shipped on site for assembly. URBING has established a strategic partnership with a respected and seasoned British Columbia based home builder with a substantial portfolio of modular home construction. Modular construction provides significant cost savings while ensuring high quality standards.

Quality Advantages:

  • Climate-controlled construction environment – material not subject to effects of weathering
  • Consistency – each module is manufactured by a retained, highly skilled workforce; consistent production managed framing, wiring, plumbing and finishing stages
  • Quality Controls – continuous inspection of production with process controls to ensure code compliance and quality targets
  • Superior strength – modulars are the strongest of all frame-built construction as units must withstand the stresses of transport and erection
  • Precision Engineering – CAD provides precision, customization and flexibility
  • Energy efficiency – energy efficient material and methods with environmentally sound practices incorporated into manufacturing process

Cost Advantages:

  • Lowest per-square-foot construction cost
  • Construction Lead Time – construction times significantly reduced as site preparation occurs simultaneous with module construction
  • Cost of Material – reduced materials cost through volume purchasing and wholesale supplier sourcing
  • Multi-Unit Residential – modulars are well suited to multi-unit residential design as they repeat basic floor plans and are 90-95% complete on delivery
  • Factory tooling and methodology speeds assembly
  • Loss prevention – contained assembly reduces cost associated with material loss and damage typically associated with on-site construction
  • Avoid sub-trade cost pitfalls – eliminate reliance on sub-trades and the uncertainty associated with availability, schedules, reliability, quality and changing costs

When you add it up the math is compelling:

Quality Construction + Quick to Market + The lowest cost per square foot = Desirable rental units generating excellent returns on investment!
