Modular Building Case Studies

The Pomeroy Lodging Employee Housing complex in Kananaskis, AB, is a 24,194 sq. ft., three-story structure with 57 studio units and a communal main-level area, designed for full-time employees and comprised of 36 prefabricated modules.

NexE, the green energy sister company of TECO-Westinghouse, partnered with Falcon Structures to design and build portable enclosures for EV fleet operators interested in re-deployable units that support EV charging depots with significant cost savings. The goal: create durable, relocatable EV infrastructure solutions that sidestep the constraints of traditional construction.

Each living unit at 732 El Camino Real was built in the Autovol plant by a combination of robots and Autovol’s skilled builders. Work was completed for all 134 units in 51 days. The living units left the factory as fully functioning apartments—approved in factory by California inspectors to meet all applicable codes.

To house the end customer’s industrial-strength ovens, Panel Built created over 400 heat-resistant panels, each built to exact specifications and clearly labeled for straightforward placement. Panel heights ranged between 7 and 9 feet, with a uniform thickness of 3.75 inches.

The installation of Solatube TDDs in the new recreation facility successfully met the project’s goals for daylighting, comfort and functionality. The space which houses indoor pickleball and basketball is now naturally illuminated with bright, evenly distributed daylight that enhances visibility and supports safe movement for senior users.

Modular Genius delivered a 25,000+ square foot modular student housing complex made up of 22 buildings to Catholic University: 19 cottage-style units and two larger traditional hall-style dormitory buildings, totaling 124 student beds.

At ROC Modular, we knew this was the kind of project where modular construction could make a real difference. By fabricating the building in modules offsite and assembling them on location, we could cut down construction time significantly while maintaining the high standards required by BC Housing and CMHC Universal
Design Guidelines.

Frequent failures, high maintenance, and operational slowdowns became a challenge that Autovol wanted to solve as quickly as possible. The solution to the problem was Caster Concepts’ ten 81 Series Kingpinless Heavy-Duty Casters, each rated to handle over 10,000 lbs.

The Midland Apartments in Buena Vista, Colorado, are a standout example of how innovative thinking and collaboration can solve housing challenges. A key to the project’s success was its use of offsite modular
construction.

FlexDecks provided a modular system, RightWay Pro, which allowed for configuration and quoting within hours. Simple step by step instructions helped
the facilities team assemble the system within a single day, while FlexDecks provided install supervision for peace of mind.
