Randy Ludwar will be leading an educational breakout session. Here’s a short introduction to what he’ll be covering:
A Contractor’s View: The Benefits of Offsite Modular by the Numbers
Randy Ludwar, VP Operations, Cormode & Dickson Construction
Randy Ludwar’s career in construction started when the fax machine was considered high tech. Since then his experience in modular and offsite construction has included being the CEO of a major Canadian modular manufacturer and fabricator, giving him in-depth knowledge as it relates to building, suppliers, sub-trade costs, labor inputs, and the resulting profits. Ludwar will speak about the relationship of the costs of construction and the various new ratios that are relevant to successful projects when offsite modular solutions are used. In particular, he will make comparisons of traditional vs. modular construction and provide analysis “by the numbers,” related to the impact on safety, production in fabrication, installation at site, required on site construction, environmental impacts, and social impacts. Ludwar says, “By the numbers, we can prove that there is much more of an advantage to modular than just an accelerated schedule.”
