Benefits Of Using a Pre Engineered Building System
There are many benefits when using a pre engineered building system. This entry will cover some of the basic benefits while then discussing the Modernwash Building System specifically.
- Pre Engineered means that the design has been thoroughly vetted in a BIM 3D Software which is able to catch potential on site construction conflicts before they happen.
- The main frame of the structure is designed, engineered and fabricated off site in a weather controlled location and then delivered to the site ready for bolt together assembly which relies less on outside weather conditions and maximizes job site time.
- The bolt together nature of the design increases speed of overall assembly as well as decreases possible issues that site built buildings are plagued by.
- Complicated designs are more easily attained by using a pre engineered building system process. Potential difficult transitions or elements can be achieved without down time on the job site while still maintaining the ideal of the design aeethetic.
- Another benefit of using an all in one stop designer-fabricator is the speed and accuracy of having architectural and engineering and fabrication staff under one roof to minimize possible design constraints or issues. we call this The Speed of Harmony , in which speed is gained by all departments working together.
- The claddings, roofing and interior panels are precision cut to fit with plain layout drawings directing the contractor for exact placement which shortens building time.
- You have another advocate to help you in working with your contractor. We are able to help you to control costs by keeping change orders down. As you know these can add up quickly and Modernwash helps by providing a systemized approach which features no unknowns, all the parts are drawn and the placement as well as the designated trims. The contractor is benefited by having an approach to construction as a process installed of figuring out items on their own.
- Budgets are easier to determine and maintain when using a pre engineered building system as the component costs are already calculated with a waste factor taken into account.
Modernwash Building System Details
Utilizing the Modernwash Building System has multiple benefits over conventional construction. The system increases speed on the construction site in multiple ways. The Modernwash System is a pre-engineered system that has been designed and thought out well before the materials will land on the project site to be installed. This means that many reviews have taken place during the design and engineering process as well as audits during the fabrication process.
The Software: Potential issues will have been addressed within a modern 3D Design
Process Software. Modern BIM (Building Information Modeling) software allows the designers at Modernwash to design connections, beams and plates while working seamlessly in concert with the structural engineering team. This is a much more efficient, faster design process than typical conventional building. The Modern BIM Software enables the designer to work out issues that might potentially cause future delays on the job site where time is virtually money!
The Unique Design: The Modernwash System provides for unique, distinctive designs that will stand out and be substantially different from any other carwash building. We employ many materials to meet the desired aesthetic for a market region while still being a very unique structure. The design helps the building to be 24 hour advertising for our clients, in effect making the building an effective part of their marketing strategy. A 24 hour billboard!
Fast Assembly: The Modernwash i-5 Frame System is an HSS high strength tubular steel building system that is a bolt together structure with proprietary hidden connection feature. By utilizing fast bolt together frame connections in place of welding and site derived fastening, the building assembly is super fast with most of our average structures being erected with roofs installed in less than 10 days. Compare this with the weeks and weeks of most other frame or block systems. The i-5 Frame features a premium TGIC powder coated finish with a zinc under primer which means no additional painting on site. This equals speed!
Fewer Contractors: Since the i-5 Frame system is a bolt together system and not any site welding is required, this allows to use less skilled labor to perform the installation. Typical carpentry skills are all that are required so that means a lot of the same workmen on site can perform most all tasks required on the building shell. The exterior claddings are a screw on system as well, so the crew that erects the structure can easily be the same crew that performs the remaining functions on the structure. Less contractors means less waiting for alternate labor to perform different roles which means less expense. Multiple contractors not showing up a few days here or a few weeks there, to perform their scope of the project and these delays can add up quickly. Given that most commercial projects are based in a retail or profit endeavor (such as a Carwash facility then this means that every day that the business is not in service, it is not making money and in fact costs are occurring. (i.e. property taxes, insurance and mortgage liability). The longer the business is not in service the more the loss of potential profit!
The Claddings: A fancy word for all the exterior panels that go on your building. At Modernwash we design and fabricate many exterior treatments that screw onto the structure. This means speed! We have Stucco, ACM (aluminum panels), Brick, Stone, Metal panels and more! We offer our cladding systems in panel form, (such as our stucco siding ) so that they install quickly, don't crack like traditional stucco, go up much faster because they do not require multiple layers of material and if a panel is damaged: it can easily be replaced unlike traditional stucco.
Tax Benefits: The Modernwash System has been designed to meet the guide lines and requirements of Accelerated Depreciation. This means the total cost of our structure will be depreciated in seven years putting the money back into your business! In fact in most cases the Modernwash System is less expensive than a conventional building by the first year of operation. Given all these benefits: The i-5 Modernwash System is more than convenient, fast and efficient. Its the right choice!
