Ramtech Building Systems - Campus Escolar Permanente
Esse projeto oferece espaço para 24 salas de aula padrão para acomodar até 528 alunos adicionais. O prédio tem cinco salas de aula de uso especial para os programas de arte, música, fala e educação especial da escola. Também inclui um refeitório com cozinha de aquecimento, escritórios administrativos, biblioteca, centro de tutoria e laboratório de aprendizagem, além de uma sala de ginástica multiuso de 3.000 pés quadrados com piso esportivo e pé-direito de 14 pés. Incorporamos uma mistura de alvenaria e EFIS que complementou as estruturas existentes e proporcionou uma aparência coesa ao campus. As seleções de acabamentos internos foram amplamente orientadas pelo uso educacional e incluíram gesso pintado, ladrilhos resilientes e cerâmicos, além de um teto suspenso acústico.
A Ramtech desenvolveu nosso sistema de PMC Slab-on-Grade como um meio eficiente de fornecer pisos de concreto e, ao mesmo tempo, lidar com os solos altamente expansivos encontrados em todo o Texas. As instalações convencionais de PMC de pilares e vigas requerem uma fundação de viga de nível ou de parede-tronco apoiada normalmente por pilares perfurados sob a corrente. Em seguida, um pilar de bloco convencional suporta um sistema de piso modular de aço com uma plataforma de aço corrugado e três polegadas de concreto leve derramado.
Essa redundância de estruturas (despesas com fundação e um sistema de piso modular) aumenta consideravelmente o custo do projeto. Ao utilizar uma laje de concreto convencional vazada no local, conforme prescrito pelo engenheiro geotécnico, e depois colocar um módulo sem piso diretamente sobre a laje, três coisas são obtidas a um custo menor: melhor acústica do piso devido à maior massa (pisos silenciosos); uma entrada no nível do solo é fornecida em todas as portas externas; e não há espaço para ventilação, reduzindo muito a possibilidade de má qualidade do ar interno.

From Model to Machine: Why Modular Scale Is Becoming a Software Problem, not a Material One
For modular manufacturers that have already secured demand and repeatable volume, the next major constraint may no longer be forming capacity itself. Increasingly, it is the continuity of the information feeding that capacity.
Who Will Define Modular Products for AI?
Artificial intelligence is making building configurators easier and less expensive to create. This makes urgent manufacturers’ need portable product definitions, stable identities, and shared interfaces regardless of how others’ software is produced.

For volumetric modular manufacturers, the value of this workflow is not simply the use of robotics. Its real value is continuity.
Helping Build a Common Framework for Modular Construction in Canada
Canada’s modular construction sector continues to gain momentum, but scaling it successfully will depend on shared expectations across design, manufacturing, approvals, and project delivery. CSA Z251 helps provide that common foundation.
Edges, Exits & Equipment: A Modular Builder’s Guide to Rooftop Access
Rooftop access belongs in the factory design. Before the modules ship, the project team should identify each route’s users, confirm applicable requirements, coordinate with the roof system and structure, and assign responsibility.
When Timber Production and Modular Construction Share One System
As demand for multifamily and workforce housing continues to outpace what conventional construction timelines can deliver, models that reduce the number of handoffs between structural fabrication and modular assembly are likely to draw more attention.
Your AI Strategy Is an Enablement Strategy
Tools will change. Teaching employees only the steps in one platform creates a narrow capability. Involving them in problem definition, process mapping, data assessment, controls, and measurement gives the organization a way to improve its systems as technology evolves.
By-Right Permitting: The Missing Lever for Scaling Modular Multifamily
Modular has already proven it can outperform traditional building methods on speed and cost per unit. The next frontier is outside the factory in the front end of the process, where projects either clear a path to construction or get stuck in review.
Remote Inspections and The Future of Factory Oversight
Remote inspection is becoming a practical part of modular construction oversight. Its value is greatest when it is used selectively, governed by clear procedures, and supported by complete traceability.

As volumetric modular projects continue to increase in scale and complexity, the Temporary-to-Permanent FiberTite Roof System represents an example of how traditional trade scopes can be reimagined through Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principles.
