A team involving general and sub-contractors Hensel Phelps Construction Co. and the Warrior Group and homebuilder Trendsetter Construction are in possession of the $140 million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will ultimately erect a total of 1,200 &#8220;hotel-style&#8221; modular apartment units to accommodate 2,400 medical trainees.<\/p>\n<p>The housing accommodations are one segment of the military&#8217;s new Medical Education Training Campus (METC), which is being developed as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act. Building One is a four-story structure encompassing 600 apartments on three floors above a single level of classroom and administration space. Trendsetter, which is spearheading the project&#8217;s design, assembled 250,000 square feet of modular units at its facility in Belton, Tex., before transporting them to Fort Sam. The structure combines factory-developed modular components with traditional shell and concrete construction. <\/p>\n<p>Modular housing, be it for the military, students or private residents, has its advantages. It&#8217;s all about cost-efficiency, an issue that couldn&#8217;t be more relevant given the current economic climate. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This type of construction allows for a speedier and more accurate construction, saving both time and money,&#8221; Gail Warrior-Lawrence, president of Warrior Group, noted in a prepared statement. <\/p>\n<p>The process can generate a 40 to 50 percent decrease in onsite activity compared to typical construction techniques. &#8220;It gives owners more control over their site operations and timetables for work completion,&#8221; Doug Henriquez, Trendsetter\u2019s Director of Business Development, told <em>CPE<\/em>. &#8220;The sooner you have an apartment or dormitory complex open, the sooner you can collect revenues. And modular construction allows a higher rate of inspection in the construction process than typical site build. Effectively, the plant becomes your construction site, and your supervisors can inspect 100% of the work as the modules are built.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also the green element. Modular construction, Warrior-Lawrence noted, &#8220;Provides significant reduction in waste and energy costs.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, as a sign of the times, the modular development at Fort Sam adheres to U.S. Anti-Terrorism\/Force Protection requirements. <\/p>\n<p>Building Two, which will also feature 600 two-bedroom units to accommodate 1,200 medical trainees, is on schedule to deliver late this spring. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Development of the first building in a two-building modular residential project at the Fort Sam Houston army base in San Antonio, Tex., has just reached completion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":936,"featured_media":1004018392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004018391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
