modular Process
Ride with a module on its journey from idea to plan, through the manufacturing floor, onto a truck and installed onsite and ready for occupancy.
THE JOURNEY OF A MOD
How It All Comes Together
The volumetric modular difference is the process: the concurrent coordination of onsite and offsite activities to achieve the best results. The RISE Modular difference is how our integrated team of experts utilizes the best in technology and advanced manufacturing practices to guide you through that process and maximize your success. From development through certificate occupancy, the best real estate, design, manufacturing and construction professionals work with you to create a well-coordinated plan that incorporates the scope, sequencing and unique assembly of your modular design. The result is a high-performance, customized building delivered with exceptional quality for your tenants or guests.
project PROCESS
Development Through Certificate of Occupancy
step 1
development
modular build process
We’re experts in helping you evaluate your project to determine if a volumetric modular solution is right for your proforma and development goals. Our team has the flexibility to assist with site analysis and selection, a modular fit plan, entitlements and permitting, or partner with you for a truly turnkey modular solution.
step 2
Design
modular build process
We take your modular fit plan and develop a conceptual estimate and timeline to ensure your project and our modular process are a great fit for each other. Then we work with your team as the design develops and you make those important early decisions that help realize modular’s full benefits for your proforma.
step 3
preconstruction
modular build process
At the same time the design develops, our team is taking that design and making plans for the scope, sequencing and unique assembly of your modular project. This includes the logistics of which modules are manufactured in what order, the transportation plan for getting mods to the site and the means and methods for mod-set and installation.
step 4a
concurrent — Offsite
modular build process
Up to 90 % of your build could take place at our climate-controlled manufacturing facility. Our drafters translate the finalized design details into shop drawings and instructions for each manufacturing station. Our plant team then gets to work bringing the design to life efficiently, cost-effectively, sustainably and with the highest quality.
step 4B
concurrent — onsite
modular build process
Your general contracting partner, whether RISE or another trusted company, is concurrently conducting all site work activities, including excavation, grading, stormwater and utilities, curb and gutter, underground parking and building pad installation, or erecting a one- or two-story concrete podium on which to stack our five stories of modules.
step 5
site assembly
modular build process
Our modules are shrink-wrapped and trucked to the job or a staging site. Our team oversees the setting of each module and ensures the modules are stitched together, connections are made and the whole installation process is successful. The common spaces are then completed concurrently with the exterior envelope and the final site work.
Manufacturing PROCESS
The A-Z of the Module
step 1
FLOORS
Six-Step Manufacturing Process
Our module’s construction begins at the bottom, with the floor.
step 2
interior & exterior walls
Six-Step Manufacturing Process
Interior and exterior walls are then framed and installed on all sides. Even during these early stages, our QC is in full force.
step 3
ceiling & Mechanical Rough-In
six-step manufacturing Process
The sixth side of a module, the ceiling, is installed. Rough-ins such as ductwork are completed and inspected.
step 4
sheetrock & insulation
Six-step manufacturing process
We move from rough to finish with the installation of sheetrock, windows and insulation. It’s really beginning to look like a place to hang out.
step 5
INTERIOR & EXTERIOR FINISH
six-step manufacturing process
Cabinets, trim, doors, flooring, paint, toilets and sinks, even appliances are installed. The finishes mean we’re almost finished!
step 6
shrink wrap & Fit
Six-Step Manufacturing Process
Quality checked, inspections complete and the unit fine-tuned, protected and on its way to be set. Drive safely!
