The\u00a0Modular Building Institute<\/a> (MBI), the world\u2019s largest trade association for commercial modular construction, reintroduced its ‘Introduction to Commercial Modular Construction’ training programme last month in Dallas, Texas<\/h2>\n

The 2.5-day commercial modular construction training programme attracted a wide range of participants from the United States, Canada, and Ecuador. Representatives from MBI\u2019s member companies, non-member construction companies, and industry suppliers, were also included.<\/p>\n

Commercial modular construction training<\/h3>\n

The class helped participants understand the basics of modular construction<\/a>, requirements for installations, how to work with code enforcement departments, the various types of \u2018Building Classifications\u2019, and the difference between permanent and temporary modular projects.<\/p>\n

Instructor Mike Aldrich, who himself has over 20 years of experience in modular construction, praised the event and the attendees: \u201cIt was a great event with a lot of interaction and participation from the team. We\u2019re looking forward to continuing in 2020 with additional classes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the classroom instruction, Devin Duvak, general manager of Texas-based Indicom Buildings,<\/a> granted the class a factory tour. He and his team spent a morning showing participants how modular units are fabricated from design to completion.<\/p>\n

Attendees also learned the importance of communication between the estimating department and the client to keep projects moving smoothly.<\/p>\n

The class was also introduced to Suzann Robinson, executive with Satellite Shelters and a member of MBI\u2019s development committee. She spoke to the class about MBI\u2019s mission, vision, and values.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so pleased MBI is offering their live training again,\u201d said Robinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe class is offered electronically, but the interaction and diversity of the attendees make the class worth the time! After the class, one of the attendees called me and said it was fantastic and that he really learned a lot. And the factory visit was definitely a highlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commercial modular construction class is based on MBI\u2019s own textbook, \u2018Introduction to Commercial Modular Construction\u2019, which is available on the website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Future live classes, as well as online training courses, can be found on the events page.<\/p>\n
