"THERE’S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING."

uch was the case in a major modular fabrication project P1 Group took on in partnership with Modular Design +.
The project was for the The Los Angeles County + University of Southern California (LAC+USC) Restorative Care Village, and consisted of the multi-trade modular fabrication of 76 various “rooms”, all performed within the P1 Group fabrication facility in Lawrence, KS. Aside from some prototypes, this was the first major modular fabrication project for P1. The units included bariatric bathrooms with showers, staff bathrooms, shared office rooms, single resident rooms, and laundry rooms.
Mechanical Team Leader and Senior Project Manager Jason Quattlebaum and Millwright Team Leader Jim Nisely agree the project came with a big learning curve, but also growth in experience and knowledge. Jason says one of the greatest challenges the team hit right away was the non-repetitive nature of the units, which prohibited our ability to truly develop a “manufacturing” style of construction. “Getting the BIM process lined up from drawings to actual fabrication was a challenge,” Jason said, “mostly because the units were not repetitive.”
