SITE
          Cranes and lifting equipment space

DESIGN &     Slab Span and Wall Height will dictate structural options available

CONSENT    PERFORMANCE
             Longevity – DOE/DCC looking for 60 years life cycle/ warranties
             Flexibility – possible change to design or use
             Quality Performance –Factory environment higher quality
             Where is it manufactured? BcAR & Certification-
             Façade Treatment and Statutory Consent requirements
           STATUTORY AUTHORITIES
             Perception associated with some solutions – High Rise modular or
             timber structure- fire risk, behaviour under fire conditions etc..
COST
                Capital Cost sensibility– End User- Social& Affordable/ PRS/Hotel/
                Build to Sell different priorities (Cost and Density/ etc.)
                Operational Cost
                Life Cycle Cost
                Developer’s cost and time to market – programme

              ASSET VALUE
                Asset Value- Perceptions- Is higher quality leading to a premium
                price, is it recognised as a higher quality product?

              PROGRAMME
COST & TIME     Solution needs to be identified at concept stage
                Is modular faster?
                      • On site? Yes
                      • Overall? Potentially not –still needs design time –
                         Procurement would take longer – overlap between design
                         and construction not entirely feasible
                Other factors can influence the programme more significantly (type
                of planning process)

              OVERALL – THE COST/PROGRAMME/ PERFORMANCE OPTIMUM
              SOLUTION IS PROJECT DEPENDENT
PROCUREMENT:
                Some solutions require part or full Design and Build
                contracts
                Direct to manufacturers or through a Main Contractor?
                     • Site works capability
                Competition (In Ireland approximately 8-9 firms currently
                offering 3D volumetric or a mixture of 2D and 3D
                solution)

PROCUREMENT     Usually leads to a 2 Stage Tender
& RISK          Will the resources and materials be available at
                reasonable prices
              RISK TRANSFER
                If D&B- Risk transfer- Risk premium-
                more information for tender is better
                Main factors should be defined (Statutory consent etc.)
                If Employer’s Design or part design – Some Risk
                remains with employer.
Other Factors for Off Site

WORKPLACE CONSIDERATIONS
                  Factory Vs Site- Accommodation – Opportunity
                  Transport

              ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
                Carbon Footprint – Holistic approach needed including trades travel
                to their place of work.
                Reduce Waste
HEALTH AND      Less Temporary Infrastructure
SAFETY &        Where is it manufactured should be taken into consideration

CHOSING THE RIGHT SOLUTION
               No one-size fits all solution.
