This project couldn’t have been built without the incredible work from the strong team, that extended to all levels. In addition it took an owner that bought into prefabricating finished exteriors and an architect to change their drawings to accommodate prefabrication. Altogether, the team achieved the quality, speed, and design flexibility needed for this project.

As for the prefabricated EIF system, they were able to incorporate BIM modeling to design the finished panel system, which was built in a climate controlled warehouse off-site resulting in an increase of on-site production by 3 times what’s normally expected. Several techniques were used to fine-tune the imperfections that can occur on any project, while maintaining the benefits of continuous insulation in an EIFS building envelope.
