The accumulating effects of dimensional and geometric variability in modular construction
have traditionally been managed using trial and error strategies and use of standardized …

Managing excessive geometric variability risks in modular components and assemblies
represents a major challenge in construction projects because of incompatibility between …

Managing excessive geometric variability risks (ie, out-of-tolerance and out-of-alignment
issues) represents a major challenge in modular construction projects, owing to lack of …

The construction industry is under pressure as to reduce the sizable quantities of
construction waste generated during construction operations. Modular coordination (MC) …

Producing assemblies that experience little to no rework during assembly fit-up is a
perennial challenge in offsite construction. While the traditional response has been to solve …

A case from the authors' experience reveals that dimensional tolerance, in terms of physical
dimensions of components and their position within the system; interact to compound the …

It is widely known that industrialized building systems can positively impact construction
projects in terms of efficiency, duration, safety, and quality. Although the use of industrialized …

Off-site construction has been increasingly employed due to its advantages, for instance,
improved quality control, reduced skills labour, faster construction time, decreased material …

This paper presents an optimization model that enables construction planners to generate
and analyze optimal tradeoffs between minimizing the total cost of modular construction …

Geometric variability often creates challenges for component aggregation in the assembly of
interchangeable components in modular construction. Despite complete interchangeability …
