Material Waste Minimizationo The benefits of Factory-Built construction was demonstrated

via: Reduction in CO2 Emissions was 43% Overall cost reduction from 43.4% (no double handling of

materials, no delays for scheduling contractors) Improved Safety (lowering WCB rates) Improved quality as construction is tighter and stronger
