if none of that aid was provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for which the data are
reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.

Beginning students are those who are entering postsecondary education for the first time.
Title IV aid to students includes grant aid, work study aid, and loan aid. These include: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to
Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant,
Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Subsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford
Loan. For those Title IV recipients, net price is reported by income category and includes students who received federal aid even
if none of that aid was provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for which the data are
reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.

Beginning students are those who are entering postsecondary education for the first time.
Title IV aid to students includes grant aid, work study aid, and loan aid. These include: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to
Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant,
Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Subsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford
Loan. For those Title IV recipients, net price is reported by income category and includes students who received federal aid even
if none of that aid was provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for which the data are
reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.
NET PRICE CALCULATOR
An institution’s net price calculator allows current and prospective students, families, and other consumers to estimate the net price of
attending that institution for a particular student.

who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or other
award such as a certificate within 150% of “normal time” for completing the program in which they are enrolled.

Some institutions also report a transfer-out rate, which is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another
institution.

Note that not all students at the institution are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary
institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate. At this institution, 74 percent of entering
students were counted as “full-time, first-time” in 2017.

Percentage of Full-time, First-Time Students Who Graduated or Transferred Out Within 150% of “Normal Time” to

(*) Not all institutions report transfer-out rates.

BACHELOR’S DEGREE GRADUATION RATES

Bachelor’s degree graduation rates measure the percentage of entering students beginning their studies full-time and are planning to
get a bachelor’s degree and who complete their degree program within a specified amount of time.

$110,001 and more $37,221 $36,729 $37,158

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or
scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books
and supplies, and the weighted average for room and board and other expenses.
Beginning students are those who are entering postsecondary education for the first time.
Title IV aid to students includes grant aid, work study aid, and loan aid. These include: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to
Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant,
Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Subsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford
Loan. For those Title IV recipients, net price is reported by income category and includes students who received federal aid even
if none of that aid was provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for which the data are
reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.
NET PRICE CALCULATOR
An institution’s net price calculator allows current and prospective students, families, and other consumers to estimate the net price of
attending that institution for a particular student.

Hello!
Welcome to iLab

iLab exists to promote innovation and progressive architecture and design through

internal research sponsored by Hickok Cole Architects. The program creates a gap in

day to day work life to foster innovation. The firm crowd sources the most compelling

proposals, every employee votes, and the winners are awarded uninterrupted project-

free time to develop an idea or project. Through this exploration the firm aims

to stretch conventional notions about architecture, fabrication, work styles, and

entrepreneurship.

This document is the result of Abigail Brown’s iLab project “Fabulous Pre-fab:

Applying Modular Construction to Multifamily Residential Projects in Washington, DC.”

Modular construction is a pre-fabrication system in which modules of a building are

constructed in a factory then shipped to the site and assembled on a foundation. This

system has not yet been widely used in Washington, DC, despite the cost, schedule,

and environmental benefits it offers and the successful use of the system in other

major cities. This document records answers to the three major research questions

that drove the investigation: what’s modular?, why and why not use modular?, and

what can modular be? This research was tested with a speculative design for a real

site in Washington, DC, with the intention of introducing this technology in future

Hickok Cole projects.

What’s Modular?
1 Introduction

Modular construction consists of whole building units prefabricated under

controlled conditions and transported to the construction site on a flatbed

trailer. These units are lifted into their final location on a foundation that is

constructed ahead of delivery. In the past, only buildings which employed a

repetitive plan were built using modular construction since exact repetition

was the only way to achieve economies of scale. This resulted in buildings

that were often banal and homogenous. However, this boundary has been

pushed by advances in technology that allow mass customization to replace

exact repetition. Modules can come together in a number of ways to create

an incredible variety of spatial forms including large span spaces. Although

almost any building can be divided into modules, certain project types will

receive the greatest economic benefit. This includes taller urban buildings,

especially multifamily residential projects.

Why Modular?

1 Faster Schedule
The shortened construction schedule due to the ability to perform site work and

building construction simultaneously is the greatest cost savings opportunity on a

modular construction project. DeLuxe Building Systems estimates that construction

times can be cut up to 50%. Reducing the time that large expenses such as cranes

and hoists are needed on a site is a further reduction of overall cost. Modules can

typically be installed at a rate of

–

modules per day depending on site conditions.

2 Cheaper Labor
Work done in a factory can be done quicker than work on-site due to the controlled

climate, factory organization, and optimized repetition of tasks. In addition, the same

amount of work can be done with a smaller crew size. Base wages for tradesmen in

a factory setting are typically lower than on a traditional site as well; however, even in

the event that factory workers are paid the same as on-site workers the smaller crew

size and reduced schedule would still result in opportunities for cost savings. Modular

construction is especially cost competitive against conventional construction built

with union labor.

Why Modular?
3 Higher

Quality

On-site construction is characterized by the process of concealing previous work with successive

layers of materials. Conversely, modules expose more surfaces and spaces throughout the

construction process, which allows better access to a greater number of building components after

finishes have been applied. The work is surrounded by open factory space and not subject to many

interior space constraints.

On a typical construction site, day-to-day quality is typically a function of the superintendent or

general contractor who is concerned with many other aspects of the construction process. Modular

construction allows for the ability to more closely monitor work quality. Quality control is a very

methodical and consistent process performed at each assembly station, which eliminates error and

reduces the time needed to perform quality checks at the end of the line.

4 Less Exposure to Weather
Many of the indoor air quality issues identified in new construction result from high moisture levels

in the framing materials. The potential for high levels of moisture trapped in building materials is

reduced with modular construction since the modules are assembled in a dry factory setting. The

factory setting is monitored and controlled for proper air quality and ventilation.

5 Worker Safety
Conventional construction workers regularly work in less than ideal conditions dealing with

temperature extremes, precipitation, wind, and sun exposure. Safety risks, such as potential for

injuries including falls, is much higher in the field. Materials and workstations are located adjacent to assembly line;

Why Modular?
6 Less Materials Waste

Modular construction makes it possible to optimize construction material purchases and usage

while minimizing on-site waste. While there is some redundancy since the joining of modules

creates a double wall condition, cost control can come from the fact that manufacturers

buy material in bulk and often in advance or immediately upon contract execution which

helps to avoid material cost escalation. Bulk materials are stored in a protected environment

safe from theft and exposure to the the environmental conditions of a job site. One of the

most applicable LEED credits to modular buildings is LEED 3.0 BD+C, MR Credit 2.1 and 2.2,

Construction Waste Management, which aims to reduce waste generated on site.

7 Less Environmental Disturbance

Because building modules are fabricated off-site it is possible to achieve tighter site control.

The duration and impact on the surrounding site environment will be reduced, which makes

it a good choice for greenfield sites or urban infill. This construction technique can assist in

the earning of LEED 3.0 BD+C, SS Credit 6.1, Site Development – Protect and Restore Habitat,

which rewards construction techniques that limit site disturbance and keep disturbed

areas to within the area immediately adjacent to the building footprint. The limited site

disturbance also comes in handy when a site has limited room for a staging area.

Modular construction takes a lot of less mess and noise produced by construction out of

the city and behind the walls of a factory. This is an advantage for projects that are highly

controversial or with difficult neighbors.

Why Not Modular?

1 Deeper Structure
Since each module has independent walls, floor, and ceiling, and

since these modules are stacked side-by-side and on top of one

another, there are some inherent redundancies in the construction

of a modular building. These double walls and floors provide

some architectural benefits. For example, the double construction

increases the acoustical ratings of the assemblies. However, it

also results in a deeper floor structure and wider walls at module

mate-lines than would typically be found in a multifamily residential

project. The result is either a taller, wider building, or shorter

ceiling heights.

Why Not Modular?

3 Market

Perception

A major challenge of introducing modular construction to a new market is the negative

perception of modular housing, which is often associated with trailer parks, public housing,

and low-end hotels. Combatting this negative perception requires showing clients how to take

advantage of the unique architectural opportunities and increased construction quality that

modular allows. It is important that modular housing does not “look like” pre-fab housing, but

rather like than other multifamily housing project. Marketing messages and positive media

coverage are important, as they influence the opinions of potential residents.

2 Cheap DC Labor Rates
Modular construction is financially competitive when compared to conventional construction built

with union labor. For this reason, cities like New York and Philadelphia have seen an upswing in

modular construction projects in recent years. Unfortunately, labor rates in Washington, DC, are

typically lower than those in other major cities where there is a stronger union presence. This

means modular may not make financial sense in DC unless the labor landscape changes.

What Can Modular Be?
7 “Play with your architecture”

In keeping with Hickok Cole’s mantra that “good ideas can come from anywhere,” the entire

Hickok Cole office was invited to a happy hour to help generate ideas responding to the

question “What Can Modular Be?” Multiple massing studies were produced using blocks from

the popular game Jenga. Cladding for modular buildings is usually installed entirely on-site

using conventional techniques, through it can also be completely or partially attached in

the factory. Installing the cladding on-site allows the building skin to act as a wrapper that

encloses and covers the expression of the modules. If the cladding is installed in the factory

it becomes much easier to identify the individual modules within in the overall composition

of the building. Whether or not to express the modules is a decision that needs to be made

for each project. The Jenga exploration revealed multiple ways that expressing the modules

allows for unique architectural expression and controlled variety across a facade.

Wood Structure

1 Principles of Wood

Modular

Wood modular is used for single family homes and low-rise multifamily buildings.

Wood modular buildings are limited in height and require a deep ceiling to floor

connection. Wood modules are often finished with primed gypsum wall board before

shipping, but appliances, millwork, and heavy finishes like tile and stone are installed

after placement at the site. During transit, modules often require temporary bracing

since the wood framing may not be engineered to withstand transportation loads.

Wood framing system; ZETA Design Build

2 Module Dimensions
Dimensional requirements for modular construction are determined by transportation

restrictions and will vary by manufacturer. Wood is a lightweight structure, and

therefore can accommodate large module sizes. These are rules of thumb:

•Maximum module width: 16’-0”

•Maximum module length: 64’-0”

•Maximum module height: 12’-0”

•Maximum building height: 3 to 4 stories

•Estimated depth of floor mate-line: 2’-0”

3 Construction Type
Building height and gross floor area are also limited by building code. Wood

construction is limited to Type III or Type V construction.

1 Principles of Steel Modular
Steel modular is used in buildings that require a more robust structural system

such as taller, high-performing, or seismic-designed buildings. Steel modules have

therefore become popular with West Coast architects and for mid-rise to high-rise

multifamily buildings. Steel frames are strong and rigid and can be less stout since

steel is stronger than wood and does not have to be unnecessarily over-structured for

transport. The modules are finished out in the factory with insulation, infill framing,

wiring, ducting, finishes, appliances, and millwork so they are as complete as possible

before shipping. Modular construction manufacturers often specialize in either wood

or steel modules.

2 Module Dimensions
Dimensional requirements for modular construction are determined by transportation

restrictions and will vary by manufacturer. These are rules of thumb:

•Maximum module width and length using concrete deck:

•12’-0” x 46’-0”

•14’-0” x 40’-0”

•16’-0” x 35’-0”

•Maximum module width and length using cement board:

•12’-0” x 65’-0”

•14’-0” x 58’-0”

•16’-0” x 50’-0”

•Maximum module height: 12’-0”

•Maximum building height: 5 to 12 stories

•Estimated depth of floor mate-line: 1’-6”

Steel Structure

4 Advantages of Steel Modular
•Higher fire resistance (Construction Type I & II) allows for taller and larger

structures. Steel modular could be used for a 13-story DC high rise, and

may prove to be cheaper than a cast-in-place concrete structure.

•Rigid and robust structure allows larger opening spans, reduced need for

lateral bracing, and more design flexibility. Does not require temporary

supports for transit.

•Mate lines are more structurally sound due to ease of connections and higher

capacity of connections. Performs well under seismic stress and high

winds.

•Structure is shallower than that required for wood modular.

•High level of prefabrication due to the strength and precision of the frame.

Interior finishes, appliances, and fixtures are installed in the factory, which

leads to greater time savings.

•Higher quality construction than both wood stick-built and wood modular.

High quality will help mitigate the negative market perception of pre-fab

as cheap construction.

3 Construction Type
Steel modular construction is typically Type I or Type II construction, which allows for

taller and larger buildings than wood modular. DeLuxe Building Systems uses steel

floor joists with a 4.5” concrete deck as its typical module assembly. All structural

members are wrapped with mineral wool insulation for fire protection and noise

isolation. Once on-site the modules are bolted together in such a way that expansion

joints between modules are not required.

Steel Details
1 Wall Thickness

Wall thicknesses vary depending on required fire rating and location of the wall within the module. The

following are rules of thumb assuming the use of light gauge steel studs and 5/8” gypsum board:

•Interior wall on a mate-line:

8”

•Exterior wall (w/o cladding, w/ membrane): 9 3/4”

•When adjacent modules meet there is a 1/2” gap at the mate-line

•Interior walls not on a mate-line should use typical partition types

Multi-unit modular construction is inherently insulating to sound. Because each module has its own

framing, there can be no direct sound transfer through the light gauge steel framing into adjacent surfaces. Typical separating wall in a steel modular building 37

Junction of floor, exterior wall, and interior wall 38

2 Floor Thickness
Floor thicknesses vary based on manufacturer and structural system. Wood modules typically need 2’-0” of

floor depth, and steel modules typically need 1’-6” of floor depth.

3 Openings Between Modules
The framing of a typical module results in a typical opening dimension of 8’-0”; however, openings as wide

as 9’-6” are possible without significant structural modifications. If a clear span opening is desired, this can

be achieved by increasing the beam depth or welding frames across the mate line.

Project Delivery
1 Delivery Methods

There are a few standard routes that a client may take when going through the

process of construction procurement for modular construction. These include design-

bid-build, negotiated bid, and design-build.

Design-bid-build is the conventional method in which a project is designed by an

architect and bid by competing general contractors. The selected general contractor

then selects a subcontractor to provide the modular components. This delivery

method does not take complete advantage of the potential collaboration benefits

of modular construction; since modular manufacturers have their own systems,

the production of bid documents becomes tricky. Bid documents can either use

one manufacturer’s standard system as a basis of design (which limits competitive

bidding), or bid documents can use a performance-based or prototypical system

(which results in less architectural control of the final product and requires additional

design work once a manufacturer is selected).

In a negotiated bid the architect and client select either a modular manufacturer or

a general contractor who is teamed with a modular manufacturer at the beginning

of the design process. This delivery method allows for maximum collaboration and

more accurate pricing, as the selected manufacturer’s standards are used as known

constraints during the design process.

In design-build procurement the client and modular manufacturer enter into a single

contract in which the modular manufacturer can either do the design in-house or hire

an outside architect as a subcontractor.

2 Construction Documents
There are three different ways in which collaboration between the architect and

manufacturer may occur to prepare construction documents:

The architect produces a set of construction documents and the manufacturer

then produces shop drawings based off this set.

The manufacturer may be involved from the beginning in an advising role and

then will begin to produce drawings at a stage in between final design development

and 50% construction documents. DeLuxe Building Systems uses this model.

If using design-build, the architect may produce “bridging documents” that are

given to a manufacturer to complete in-house.

Approvals

1 Permits & Inspections
Because modular buildings are constructed at a distance from municipal building

inspectors, a third-party inspector system has been established. Inspectors must visit

the modular manufacturing facility for inspections of the modules, then visit the site

again after assembly. Permits are also often run through a third-party system. In the

permit drawing set, modular and in-situ components should be represented together

as a final whole. However, drawings should still clearly differentiate site work from

modular components.

In Washington, DC, Brookland Equity Group LLC was issued a permit for a three

story, four unit shipping container apartment building in July 2014. The containers

were assembled less than two weeks after the permit was issued. Though shipping

containers are a different kind of pre-fab than modular construction, this proves that

modular buildings are able to receive building permits in

Washington, DC.

Transportation
1 Transit Protection

All modules that are exposed during transport are covered by a custom made

polyethylene sheet or tarp for temporary weatherproofing. In addition, any loose

appliances or materials must be tied down prior to shipment.

2 Shipping
Maximum width, height, and weight of modules are based on shipping restrictions

and are limited by individual state laws. City and county governments also impose

additional regulations, which might include permit requirements, police escort,

maximum dimensions, times of day, roads, route reporting requirements, and

maximum weights. Modules can be shipped via truck, railroad, or ship depending on

destination. For economic feasibility, the maximum distance from factory to site is

typically considered 500 miles.

Foundations
1 Foundation Types

In all cases the foundation must be prepared before the modules begin to

arrive on site. Almost any foundation system can be used with modular

construction depending on the site and soil conditions. Wood modules

generally place distributed loads on foundations whereas steel framed

modules often produce a point load. Therefore, perimeter and pier

foundations systems are more common for steel buildings. Concrete podium

construction is a good choice for multi-family buildings since it allows for

the larger spans required for parking and retail at the site with the residential

modules placed above.

2 Tolerances and Levelling
The levelling of foundations or grade beams is crucial to the subsequent

installation and alignment of modular units. Often it is necessary to provide

for some adjustment in the foundation or in the legs of the modular unit.

Each manufacturer had developed its own proprietary system for locating

and fixing mechanisms to aid in the positioning of units on the foundations.

Generally base plates, steel strips, or cement particle board are fixed to

the foundations and grouted and levelled as necessary to take up any

inaccuracies in the top of the foundation.

The type of crane required for placing modules is based on weight and reach.

Positioning of modules often requires a crane of greater capacity than those

commonly kept on-site during typical low-rise construction projects, as a 40-75 ton

capacity is generally required. Various types of rigs are available to lift modules.

2 Hoisting and Positioning
Typically the modules are lifted directly from the flatbed trailer into their final location.

An on-site crew guides the modules into place and make the connections. Ideally,

this process does not impede the maximum workflow of the crane, as renting large

cranes are expensive. The maneuvering of modules is performed by guide ropes.

Weather conditions will prevent the placing of modules when wind speeds exceed 10

mph. A small gap between module frames allows the process to occur with greater

speed. Any joints or openings are covered with a tarp at the end of each day. Most

manufacturers can install 6-10 modules per day, depending on site conditions.

3 Fastening
Each modular construction manufacturer uses a different system to connect the

modules to each other; however, it is typical to use a interlocking system to increase

accuracy and reduce setting time. In most cases a pin is welded to the base of each

corner column which fits into the columns of the module below. In the Kullman

Building Corporation’s system, the tapered pin locates the module below, the diamond

pin registers alignment in one direction, and the two floating pins allow for error. A

3/8” steel plate with a 1-1/2” stiffening lip at the top and bottom then fastens the

modules together with blind rivets.

Roofing
1 Flat Roofs

All currently used roofing systems can be applied to modular buildings. The ceiling

structure of the upper modular units can support the roof directly or an additional

roof structure that spans between the walls of the modular units may be used. In

either case it is necessary to ensure that the structure is designed to accommodate

all roof loads. A range of flat roofing systems can be used, including single layer or

built up membranes on sheathing laid on furring strips. The roof structure can be

engineered to accommodate a green roof or assembly space. It is unlikely that pools

can be accommodated on the roofs on modular buildings.

Parapet wall details are possible. Roof drain pipes can be incorporated into the

vertical service shafts that also accommodate soil and vent pipes and other vertical

services within the building. A parapet roof can be integrated into the construction of

a module in the factory or constructed conventionally on site.

2 Pitched Roofs
Pitched roofs can be constructed in the factory as independent modules that are

installed on site, constructed conventionally, or integrated into the construction

of a module at the factory if it is low-sloping. Detailed research on pitched roofs

was beyond the scope of this document since they are rarely used for multi-family

residential buildings.

Exterior Cladding
1 Wall Cladding Interface

Cladding for modular buildings can be self supporting vertically and only supported laterally by

the units, or it can be supported entirely by the modular structure. Cladding is usually placed

entirely on-site using conventional techniques, through it can sometimes be completely or partially

attached in the factory. Typical cladding materials include brick (which is supported vertically by

the foundations and laterally by the structure), cementitious panels applied to rigid insulation, and

rainscreen panels attached to sub-framing or directly to the structure.

2 Windows & Doors
Window and door frames are generally fitted into the modular units in the factory and their detailing

is similar to other forms of framed construction. The number of openings and area of glazing

permitted in any one modular unit is limited only by structural requirements. If large openings are

required it may be necessary to incorporate hot rolled steel elements into the structure of the unit.

The external cladding must be detailed to fit around the openings with appropriate waterproofing

details.

MEP and Services
1 Decentralized Systems

Decentralized mechanical systems are often used in modular buildings. This

eliminates the need for deep ductwork required to transfer conditioned air from a

central plant. Decentralizing also avoids some of the complexities of routing the

systems and making field connections.

2 Hookups & Distribution

Typical service duct; axon and plan

Service hook-up diagram

Installation of electrical, plumbing, and heating services in modular buildings can

largely be achieved in the factory while final connections are made on-site. A

vertical service duct is incorporated in each unit to accommodate vertical drainage

and pipework. The services within each unit are installed in the factory and

terminate at the vertical duct. Access to the service duct is generally made from

corridors outside the unit, which allows services to be connected on-site within the

duct and without the need to enter the unit. This minimizes potential damage to

the finishes within the apartments. Horizontal distribution is often run through the

ceilings of the corridors, which requires a dropped ceiling. Hookups can also be

made through removable floor or wall panels.

The corridors within the modular units arrive to the site unfinished so these

connections can be made easily. Corridor lighting and finishes are then installed

on-site once the services are in place. The design of access points and chase

enclosures can be integrated with the building’s finishes.

Interior Finishes
1 Schedule of Completion

The goal of modular construction is to complete as much as possible in the factory setting. However, some

finish work always needs to be done on site. This includes the corridors after MEP hook-ups are made, any

interior spaces that are built on-site, and the joints between modules. When openings occur at module mate-

lines the finishes need to be stitched together in the field. Therefore, designers should pay close attention to

detailing these finish transitions at mate-lines. Alternatively, floor finishes can be applied entirely on-site in

order to cover the mate-line in the floor seamlessly, though this requires more on-site labor.

2 Quality of Finishes
Quality of finishes are not restricted by modular construction. Any grade of finishes can be selected and

installed in the factory by trained craftsman. Finishes in marquee spaces, such as lobbies and amenities, can

be installed on-site for greater control and without the need to account for joints at module mate-lines.

BROOKS
MANSION

Project site location; Brookland WMATA Joint Development Site, Northeast Washington, DC

1 Disruptive Application
Multifamily residential construction is currently booming in the national’s capital,

but developers have been shy to adopt modular construction techniques. Despite

the expedited schedules, higher quality, and environmental benefits of modular,

and the successful use of the system in other major cities, there have not yet been

any large-scale modular construction projects in Washington, DC. In order to

better understand the constraints and challenges, the preceding research has been

applied to a speculative design for a real site in the Brookland neighborhood of

Washington, DC.

2 Speculative Project Site
The site is located adjacent to the Brookland-CUA Metro station on the Red Line

in the Northeast quadrant of the District of Columbia, and it was included as the

south parcel in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Joint

Development Solicitation that was released in November 2013.

The Brookland-CUA Metro station and WMATA bus loop are immediately to the

west of the site. The Metro station’s existing Kiss & Ride facility is located on the

site, and the project proposal incorporates a replacement facility on the ground

floor. This proposal aims to develop a new multifamily residential building that will

offer rental units in a mix of unit sizes from juniors to two bedroom units.

SITE-BUILT
CONCRETE PODIUM

$149/SF*

1 Initial Concept
The initial concept of the application phase of this study was to investigate the

use of modular construction to replace wood frame stick-built construction over a

concrete podium, which is a common construction type in Washington, DC. The

speculative project was therefore assumed to be five stories of wood modular or stick-

built construction over a site-built concrete podium. However, after researching the

limitations of wood modular and discussing the costs with a local contractor (Davis

Construction) it quickly became apparent that wood modular construction would

not be competitive in Washington, DC. Below is a list of major factors that drove this

decision:

•Wood buildings are limited in height and gross square area by building code

•Wood is less rigid than steel, and thus limits open spans and requires more

lateral bracing

•Wood modular requires temporary supports for transit loads

•Wood modular requires a very deep ceiling to floor connection (2’-0” minimum)

•Less work can be done in the factory since wood modules can not support

heavy appliances, millwork, and finishes during transit. This reduces

the same savings benefit of modular construction.

•The negative market perception of modular construction is more pronounced

with wood. Steel modular is generally perceived as higher quality.

•Wood frame stick-built construction is very affordable in the Washington, DC,

market. Early pricing studies by Davis Construction have shown that wood

modular costs 35% more than conventional wood framing.

2 Revised Concept
During early discussions Davis Construction expressed interest in comparing steel

modular construction to a conventional cast-in-place concrete building. Using the

same site and floor plan as the initial concept, the study was revised to compare nine

stories of modular or conventional construction over a site-built concrete podium.

We compared both total building cost and construction schedule for both options

using both union and non-union labor. All four estimates were then plugged into a

pro-forma to compare the project returns for each option. The following pages show

an abbreviated set of the basic drawings of a multifamily residential project for the

Brookland WMATA site that were used to generate the cost and schedule comparisons,

including a floor plan, module plan, sections, a sample unit plan, and a massing study.

3 Assumptions

The following are the assumptions that were taken into account for the estimates:

•The modular option consists of nine stories of steel modular over a site-built

concrete podium.

•The conventional option consists of nine stories of cast-in-place concrete

structure over a concrete podium

•The site-built concrete podium is identical for both options and that is assumed

to be existing when construction on the upper floors started

•To make this study an apples-to-apples comparison the building form does not

take advantage of the interesting architectural opportunities that modular allows. The

modular option for this study uses a straightforward stacking approach with some set-

backs for balconies. The building skin was assumed to be installed on-site.

units per DC Inclusionary Zoning requirements. The building

will strive for LEED certification and feature many sustainable

design strategies, such as water-reducing fixtures, energy efficient

equipment and lighting, and storm water retention systems.

The building features residential amenities on the second floor that

include a Club Room and a Fitness Center, both with access to an

amenity roof terrace. The amenity spaces are site-built due to the

large spans and irregular room geometry.

Project Return Analysis

EQUITY MULTIPLE

1 Is it worth it? 3 Equity Multiple
In order to test the financial feasibility of using modular construction for the

speculative project, a local developer (CityInterests) agreed to run several pro-forma

models to test the four scenarios priced by Davis Construction.

Through the comparison of several metrics measuring return on investment (equity

multiple, IRR, and standardized yield on cost), it becomes clear that modular

construction is not competitive against conventional construction built with union

labor. However, modular construction produces slightly higher returns when compared

with conventional construction built with union labor. Whether or not those returns

are high enough to justify the increased risk associated with a new construction type

depends on the investor/developer risk appetite. Some owners may be quick to jump

at a new potentially ground breaking opportunity with higher risk/reward potential,

while others may not be as keen to the be first to the party. The decision will also

depend on project size, investment requirements, and portfolio size for the individual

company assessing the deal.

An equity multiple is a metric that describes the number of times the investor is

expected to receive their original investment back over the life of the investment.

It does not take into account the time value of money.

2 Assumptions
The following are the assumptions that were taken into account for the estimates:

•The project includes 300 units rented at $3.00/sf

•The land acquisition price is $10,000,000

•The construction loan interest rate is 4.50%

•The only variables are the length of construction and the total building cost/gsf

An IRR is the interest rate at which the net present value of all the cash flows

both negative and positive) from a project or investment equal zero. An IRR is a

valuable metric because it takes into account all cash flows and the time value of

money, which thereby provides the investor a benchmark by which it can evaluate

competing investments. Unleveraged IRR assesses a project independent of the

lending environment (as if it were a cash deal), whereas leveraged IRR accounts

for how debt impacts the cash flow (including interest and debt

payments).

The yield on cost is a measure of cash flow return that measures the net operating

income expected to be generated from a development property as a percentage

of development cost. Unleveraged yield on cost assesses a project independent

Modular in DC?
1 Moving Forward

So does it make sense to use modular in Washington, DC? At the time of

this writing, the answer is only under certain conditions. The project must

a high-rise that would conventionally be built with cast-in-place concrete,

and the project must be built with union labor. The speculative project

comparison undertaken through this iLab suggests that increasing modular’s

presence in other nearby cities with strong unions, such as Baltimore, may

be a better opportunity.

A major challenge in the Washington, DC, market is combatting the

negative market perception of modular construction. This is a challenge

that architects can help solve by showing clients the unique architectural

opportunities and increased construction quality that modular allows. The

use of well designed, high quality precedents is important, as is educating

clients and the public about modular construction and its benefits. Further

developing the Jenga massing studies found in this document would be

a worthwhile endeavor to demonstrate the possibilities of expressing the

module on a facade. In addition, studying the potential opportunities for

unit design may reveal interesting new unit types based around increased

terraces and access to individual exterior space for renters. The use of

modular construction is increasing in other major cities around the country,

and so the future of modular in the nation’s capital is rich with potential.

Potential reduction in total project cost when built with union labor; more accurate cost estimating

Better construction sequencing and fewer conflicts in crew scheduling

Reduces site environmental impacts due to reduced material waste, pollution, dust, and noise

11 Increased risk for first project due to uncertainty by lenders

13 Cost savings is not as big in Washington, DC, as in other major cities due to lower labor rates

12 Negative market perception that modular construction is cheap, ugly, and of inferior quality

6 Reduces site constraints such as staging, weather, and security

3 Controlled factory conditions increase the predictability of quality, cost, and time

1 Must recognize the nature of modular buildings and their constraints during the design process4

1 Alters traditional design/documentation process and financing structure5
