Abstract

This paper reports on a portion of a study to determine the construction performance of permanent modular construction (PMC) with the goal to verify industry claims of cost and schedule. The research uses a test bed of international PMC case studies. The PMC projects recorded provide a sample to evaluate the performance metrics attributed to off-site construction. The study finds that PMC project samples were 11% more cost effective and 42% improved schedule performance when compared to traditional site built projects.
