Modular Construction Services

Conversion of Plans to Modular Plans:
The Glenco staff can convert stick plans to work under modular construction. In most cases we are able to make this conversion and still retain the house design. However we do realize that not all house designs will make this conversion economically.

For Pricing please forward us the floor plans and elevations so we may review and quote the job.

Preliminary Drawings (PD's):
Preliminary drawings consist of a floor plan layout that allows you to see how your ideas worked out. The floor plans have all Walls, Windows, Doors, and Fixtures: All items are tagged with sizes. Also included is the house size and sq/ft of living space.

These Plans are usually done as the 1st draft floor plans prior to doing foundation and exterior elevations.

On Site Construction Plans:
This service is designed to provide modular builders with the additional drawings needed to provide the on-site crews/builders with necessary construction plans and details to properly layout/build all non-modular construction.

This service is also able to provide any or all on-site plans/details required to all permits, including structural calculations sealed by a professional engineers or registered architect.

Listed below are some of the items you may need:

  • Non-Modular Constructed Additions
  • Floor Plans
  • Foundation Plans and Structural Designs
  • Elevations 2D or 3D
  • Electrical Component Layouts
  • Electrical Calculations
  • Building Cross Sections
  • Schedules (Window, Door, Fire Ratings)

On Site Permit Plans:
Once again when a modular builder is in the need for non-modular designs or is in the need for additional drawing's that the local building department is requiring and your modular builder is not providing, Glenco, Inc. can supply the necessary requirements.

Listed below are some of the items you may need:

  • Non-Modular Constructed Additions
  • Floor Plans
  • Foundation Plans and Structural Designs
  • Elevations 2D or 3D
  • Electrical Component Layouts
  • Electrical Calculations
  • Building Cross Sections
  • Schedules (Window, Door, Fire Ratings)

Permit Plan:
With today's new codes going into effect and each building department having different submission requirements, they all are requiring more then just a floor plan and application.

Glenco, Inc. has the ability to generate the required plans and details required so you can build the product you wish. No project is too big or too small.

If you don't know what is required to build in your area, we will research that for you. We want to assist you where ever possible.

Quality Control / Quality Assurance Manual:
For those of you desiring to open a modular manufacturing facility or a panelized manufacturing facility the state or states you desire to build in will most likely require the manual.

The Q.C./Q.A. manual consists of information about your factory, staff, quality control procedures, material handling products, and their performance.

Set Manual:
A set manual is a manual that explains how your product is set/erected, connected and finished inside and out. This manual must detail every type of product you wish to build. Connection of house to foundation, module to module and roof system is erected position are all included in this manual. By doing this manual you will help your builder build and finish your product as you planned and this will cut down on in field shortages and costly errors.

Systems Manual:

The systems manual is a combination of the following: cover sheet, index, quality control procedures, construction standards, structural design data, manufactured products (i.e. roof trusses) and material safety data specifications (M.S.D.S.). This Manual is generally required in states that require individual model approvals.

Systems Drawings:
The system drawings package is to insure your complete designs in one (1) set of drawings. This is to include all options and construction types. i.e. Ranch, cape, two story... with options.

You are to cover all parts of your construction phase. i.e. floor plans, framing, cross sections, elevations, electrics, plumbing, heating, schedules, connections/fastening. All the above (and a few others) is to be general enough to allow a variety of products, yet detailed enough to show how each phase is designed.

Note: All types of construction and options must be backed up by structural calculations. i.e. 24' 5/12 roof. You must provide calculations for that roof pitch, the snow loads for that area, trusses, and joist/studs. Also items like 4' prow roof must be covered in the calculations.

State Submission Drawings:
A model approval is exactly that, for one (1) model type (1) layout. all parts of construction. i.e. Floor plan, foundation, elevations, cross section and details, framing, plumbing (supply and DWV), schedules, calculations (if you don't have an approved manual submitted to the state) and heating plan.

Note: Some states will not permit any modifications to the approved plans, this requires a re-submission back to the state. (modifications to an approved plan)

Structural Calculations Manual:
The Structural manual is based off the systems manual.

The following items are typical to calculation manuals:

  • Index
  • Dead load procedures
  • Dead load of building components
  • Load diagrams
  • Floor joist
  • Wall studs and columns
  • Headers
  • Ceiling joist
  • Girders (floor and ceiling)
  • Rafters or trusses
  • Wind load
  • Shear
  • Fastening
  • Lifting
  • Energy recheck

Each of the above calculations need to be designed per the area you intend to build in. i.e. New York State has snow loads from 40 psf to 90 psf, wind from 90-10 and seismic up through D2.
