But it is now used in a variety of building types, including hospitals and other medical buildings, apartments, hotels, offices, factories, schools, and senior living facilities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imegcorp.com\/project\/office-buildings-clinics-renovations\/\">Advocate Aurora Health<\/a>, for example, used offsite construction for a large-scale expansion of its outpatient facilities in Illinois. Working with HDR Architecture, IMEG, and Boldt Construction, the healthcare organization created a scalable, repeatable, and adaptable care module that worked for several types of practitioners in varied spaces, from newly built medical office buildings to renovated big box store space. Over several years, the team completed 27 outpatient clinics using exam modules, toilet rooms, electrical and mechanical rooms, multi trade racks, and exterior building envelope built in a factory in the Chicagoland area.<\/p>\n<p>Offsite construction brings benefits in efficiency, predictability, and waste.<\/p>\n<p>Because the pieces are built in a factory construction can continue no matter the weather. Offsite pieces can also be built while site work is still underway, shortening construction time. The Modular Building Institute, a leading trade organization, estimates the use of offsite construction can reduce the construction cycle by 30 percent to 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Because the pieces are built in a factory construction can continue no matter the weather.

Some offsite factories also use industrialized construction\u20143D printers, robotics and automation\u2014or group tasks by skill to manage their skilled labor force to further enhance efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s also easier to monitor quality control and reduce waste in the factory environment. What would be regarded as construction waste on a construction site can be collected and reused in a factory. And the precision, quality control, and consistency of the factory-built process can reduce the energy needed to create components, thereby lowering the carbon footprint of the constructed building.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learn <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">more<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imegcorp.com\/feature-article\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IMEG feature about offsite construction<\/a>.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IMEG is using offsite construction in industries including healthcare, apartment complexes, hotels, and schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":14047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,366],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Offsite construction offers benefits in efficiency, predictability, and waste reduction -
