New Musings on Prefabrication in Construction


I have four new articles in the Q2 2019 issue of LF Driscoll's in-house Quality Magazine, Q-Tips. The issue is centered around the innovative implementation of prefabricated construction at the new PennMedicine Pavilion project for the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. With our constrained urban site, delivery limitations, and tight timelines, this project uses of a number of different strategies to bring prefabricated elements to the site. 

My articles outline the overall approach to prefabrication that the project takes and delve deeper into how prefabricated Bathroom Pods, Multi-Trade Racks, and Headwalls were developed and deployed on the site. These components run the gamut of prefabrication, from items built both in-house and by subcontractors, from locally in West Philly to 1,400 miles away in Oklahoma City. Each article looks at the decision-making that determined the extent and strategy undertaken for each component and how they brought time, labor, and dollar savings to the project along with a considerable safety dividend.
