Modular vs Stick Built
Financial pressures, regulatory challenges, and time-to-market issues in the pharmaceutical industry require innovative, flexible, global solutions for successful facility projects. Inconsistent quality, cost overruns, and the lost productivity caused by schedule delays impact your bottom-line.
Integrating a modular cleanroom into your plans enhances the economic value of your facility project by improving quality, reducing cost and schedule. These values extend beyond the immediate project and last throughout the life-cycle of the facility, since modular cleanrooms out-perform and out-last conventional stick-built construction.
Quality
ALWAYS predictable in a pre-engineered, modular cleanroom system, manufactured in controlled factory conditions, installed by factory-trained AES technicians in the field.
NEVER predictable in stick-built cleanrooms. Shortages of skilled labor, variable site conditions, and inconsistent workmanship add up to an unpredictable result.
Cost
ALWAYS predictable with a pre-engineered, modular cleanroom system. Cost analysis is concurrent with design, so there are no unhappy surprises. Modular features displace much of the labor required in stick-built construction.
NEVER predictable in stick-built cleanrooms. Extensive, detailed engineering is required upfront, with material and labor costs dependent on local economic conditions. Field labor is extensive, and costly rework due to quality issues is typical.
Schedule
ALWAYS predictable in pre-engineered, modular cleanrooms. Modular construction sequence, methods, and procurement strategy yield accurate scheduling and faster construction.
NEVER predictable in stick-built cleanrooms. Site variables such as stud construction, drywall finishes, and multiple inspection steps create a labor-intensive, longer construction cycle.
