Service Modular Construction

Modular Construction

At Buro Matei, we specialize in providing comprehensive Modular Construction services that extend beyond engineering and design into the critical phases of fabrication, transportation, and on-site installation.

Modular Construction involves pre-fabricating components off-site in controlled environments, then transporting and assembling them at the project site. This approach minimizes on-site work, reduces schedules, and improves safety and quality.

Our expertise ensures seamless integration of modular strategies with construction management, from overseeing module fabrication yards to coordinating heavy haul and lift operations. With a focus on Construction Work Package (CWP) and Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) planning, we ensure that every step is optimized for efficiency and reliability.

Procurement is often seen as a critical link in the EPC chain, directly impacting cost, schedule, and project success.

We combine advanced technology, robust planning methodologies, and industry expertise to address the complexities of global logistics. Whether it’s route surveys, transportation studies, or real-time shipment tracking, we streamline processes to minimize delays, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with all international shipping standards.

Why Buro Matei

Our experience spans decades in engineering, project management, and procurement, giving us unparalleled insight into the collaborative challenges faced by EPC organizations.

We specialize in designing scalable solutions that grow with your organization, enabling seamless transitions to advanced platforms like Dataverse, Power Apps, and Fabric.

Our approach includes a focus on Lean principles, using tools like SharePoint Lists and Planner to reduce waste and streamline task management across disciplines.

We understand the risks and limitations of traditional tools like Excel and guide teams in adopting SharePoint for improved data quality, traceability, and governance.

We actively engage leadership to align teams with centralized collaboration strategies, driving cultural shifts toward data-driven operations and empowering teams with tailored training and support.

All recommended solutions are internally tested within Buro Matei, ensuring that every feature we deploy is practical, efficient, and results-driven.

Challenges We Solve

Modular Construction requires careful planning and execution to avoid delays, cost overruns, and logistical challenges:

Fabrication Yard Oversight: Ensuring quality, progress, and compliance at module fabrication facilities is critical to project success.

Transportation Complexities: Managing shipping routes, overland transportation, and logistics for large modules poses significant challenges.

Heavy Lift Coordination: Proper sequencing and collaboration with heavy haul and lifting contractors is essential to avoid delays.

Site Integration: Misalignment during on-site installation can result in costly rework and safety risks.

Planning Gaps: Inadequate CWP and AWP planning can lead to inefficiencies, constrained workfronts, and schedule disruptions.

Our Approach 

Buro Matei’s Modular Construction services integrate mindset, technology, and execution to ensure every phase, from fabrication to installation, is managed with precision and efficiency.

We empower EPC teams to embrace centralized collaboration and data management as essential parts of their workflows.

2. Technology

Our technical expertise ensures seamless implementation and optimization of SharePoint and Teams for EPC workflows.

CWP and AWP Planning: We utilize advanced planning tools to ensure every module is sequenced for efficient transportation, staging, and installation.
3D Model Integration: Our tools integrate 3D models with module fabrication schedules, ensuring alignment between design, fabrication, and site requirements.
Module Tracking Dashboards: Real-time dashboards monitor progress, quality, and readiness at fabrication yards, providing instant visibility to stakeholders.

Transportation Planning: Using digital mapping tools, we plan and optimize shipping routes and overland transportation, addressing constraints like bridge load limits and road clearances.
Heavy Lift Coordination: Our tools map crane paths, lifting sequences, and on-site staging areas to ensure efficient and safe module installation.
Anchor Bolt and Interface Alignment: We ensure precise alignment of anchor bolts and interfaces for smooth integration of modules during installation.

3. Execution

We ensure the seamless integration of SharePoint and Teams into your EPC workflows by aligning tools, processes, and organizational goals.

Fabrication Yard Oversight: We provide on-site management to monitor progress, conduct inspections, and address safety and quality issues during fabrication.
Logistics Management: Our teams coordinate shipping and transportation schedules, ensuring modules arrive on time and in optimal condition.
Heavy Haul and Lift Planning: We work closely with contractors to sequence lifts, position cranes, and manage site access for large modules.
