Home / Services List / Offsite & Modular Design

We work closely with architects, building owners, contractors, manufacturers, and other forward-thinking design professionals to design offsite and modular solutions that achieve a balance between design excellence, economy, aesthetics, and high productivity.

In addition to building design, we assist with the development of new components, construction strategies, and emerging technologies that allow for off-site manufacture and rapid on-site assembly. The offsite and modular umbrella covers a wide variety of systems, materials, and methodologies, including but not limited to:

Elements
  • Laminated strand lumber (LSL)
  • Laminated veneer lumber (LVL)
  • Precast concrete beams and columns
  • Precast prestressed concrete girders
  • Structural composite lumber (SCL)
Panels
  • Cross-laminated timber (CLT)
  • Hollow core panels
  • Nail-laminated timber (NLT)
  • Precast concrete shear walls
  • Voided concrete slabs
Volumetric Modules
  • Concrete
  • Cold-formed steel
  • Hot-rolled steel
  • Wood (dimensional and engineered)
Our design solutions focus on selecting the system that best supports the needs of the project with an eye to reducing the project schedule and overall cost. We do this by prioritizing both the ease of manufacture and the simplification of the assembly at the final site. This often results in faster and shorter construction cycles, higher quality construction with less waste and emissions, and an increase in worker safety.

What Makes Offsite & Modular Design Different at Entuitive?

We encourage early and ongoing collaboration of the entire project team, including manufacturer, contractor, and trade involvement. We utilize parametric tools to generate analytical and data-rich models quickly for early “optioneering” and design decisions. Throughout the life of the project these data-rich models allow 3D coordination and development of accurate quantities (bill of materials).

We are an industry leader in providing efficient and innovative design, utilizing offsite and modular solutions with experience that spans markets and geographies.
