Faster Projects. Lower Risk. More Predictable Costs.
VOLOSM focuses on a design-for-manufacturing model centered on standardized wood-frame volumetric products. The intended vision aims to align procurement, production, and logistics to establish predictable delivery workflows. Current efforts involve planning future operations in Alabama, focusing on developing the infrastructure needed to support multifamily housing growth.
Production-Based Design
The VOLOSM model targets a design-for-manufacturing strategy, intended to align engineering with production early in the cycle to optimize material use and streamline planned assembly workflows.
Standardized Wood-Frame Volumetric Designs
We intend to utilize standardized wood-frame volumetric designs, conceptualized to provide a consistent quality baseline and uniform unit dimensions for multifamily housing delivery.
Planned Procurement
Our intended methodology includes centralized procurement planning for timber and sub-assemblies, aiming to leverage volume for improved supply chain visibility and cost management goals.
Production Planning
The planned Alabama workspace is intended to support controlled assembly environments, aiming to mitigate weather delays and support precision via station-based production sequences.
Logistics
Intended logistics strategies focus on optimized loading and transport sequences, aiming to coordinate module delivery with project schedules for planned just-in-time installation.
Site Integration
The VOLOSM design aims to simplify site integration through pre-planned lifting points and attachment details, targeting an efficient structural completion phase during assembly.
Development Goals
Timeline Objectives
30-50% Faster builds
The VOLOSM model is designed to provide clear schedule targets for Alabama site teams, aiming to align factory output with site readiness through integrated planning processes.
Design Checkpoints
Intended checkpoints during the manufacturing phase prioritize precision engineering, aiming to verify that wood-frame modules align with design goals prior to leaving the facility.
Scalability
By utilizing standardized volumetric modules, VOLOSM intends to support high repeatability across multifamily projects, focusing on developing scalable housing delivery systems.
Risk Coordination
A primary process goal is to address traditional construction uncertainties by moving assembly into a controlled environment, intent on improving overall project risk management.
