Modularization
15 August 2007Bill Meyer
Modularization execution benefits:
1. Cost reductions
2. Schedule reductions
3. Risk reductions
Modularization
15 August 2007Bill Meyer
Cost Downside
Increased cost of steel
Increased cost of shipping
Potentially - increased cost of transport and installation

Modularization
15 August 2007Bill Meyer
Cost Upside
Move labor cost offsite to cheaper labor supply
Reduce indirect costs (camp, construction supervision, consumables etc
at the site rates)
Improved productivity (weather, flexible workforce, site accessability etc)
Reduced schedule - reduces construction indirects
[Positive impact to NPV if revenue stream begins earlier]
