Not Just About the Drawings, It's About the Data

STACK U_C101_

In modular construction, design is about more than producing drawings. The information behind those drawings also needs to support everything that follows.

Alongside shop drawings, the modular design team develops the Bill of Materials (BOM), which helps connect design to submittals, scheduling, procurement, manufacturing and delivery.

In this Stack U 101, we look at why both drawings and data matter, and how they work together to keep the modular process moving from design through delivery.

FAQs

Stack University is a learning series focused on modular construction, sharing practical knowledge around design, manufacturing, delivery and other parts of the modular process.

 A Bill of Materials, or BOM, is one of the key deliverables developed by the modular design team. It provides the material information needed to support the wider modular process. 

The course provides a simple introduction to how drawings and data support the modular construction process, making it useful for anyone looking to better understand how modular projects move from design into execution.
