December 7-8, 2010, Houston, Texas Modular Construction & Prefabrication USA Assess the Commercial Viability of your Modular Project and Deploy Specialized Prefabrication Techniques to Reduce Costs Dear Engineering Expert, Are you equipped with the key techniques to execute an end-to-end modular project and reap the massive cost-saving benefits? Learn the best options and most practical techniques for your current projects to cut costs and optimise value, efficiency and safety by attending Construction IQ’s Modular Construction & Prefabrication USA event this December in Houston, TX. We’ve researched with 70+ engineering experts to ensure that you benefit from the most relevant sessions and discussions on modular construction, and find the answers to questions and challenges that still haven’t been fully realised in modern-day construction. For this reason, we’ll be discussing the answers to critical and recurring questions, including: • When should you implement a modularization strategy? • How to apply modular to your large scale complex project? • Ways to overcome logistical challenges and control costs? Getting the complete picture on modular construction is essential to your decision making process, so that you can evaluate the commercial viability of your projects and execute the best strategy successfully. Join us to tackle these issues and discuss how an effective evaluation of your project could make you reap the benefits of the modularization. Modular Construction & Prefabrication USA will bring together the Senior Project Managers, Vice Presidents and Project Owners to share knowledge and best practice strategies with you, while highlighting the main variables that must be considered when thinking about constructing modular. Who Should Attend Modular Construction & Prefabrication USA? • Vice Presidents, Engineering • Project Managers • Client owners • Modular Construction Managers • Director of Project Execution Development • Heads of projects • Modulors • Specialized Consultants If your role is linked to construction in engineering, this is the must-attend meeting of the year for you!
