Design and construction approach
- Architects, engineers, and the modular factory collaborated from day one.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM) was used to create a detailed 3D model.
- The team used BIM for early clash detection and alignment of structural and MEP systems.
- Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principles were adopted.
- Unit sizes were standardized to simplify construction.
- Off-site production and site preparation happened in parallel.
Schedule and quality
- Modular construction shortened the schedule by 40%.
- Factory production improved quality control.
- The process reduced defects and rework.
- On-site noise and disruption were reduced in the dense urban area.
Sustainability features
