FramePoint Sourcing Application Requirements

The intended use is supervision, meetings or a dry store for samples. Confirm occupant count, whether overnight use is forbidden, and how many months the unit stays. Module dimensions often start from a single 12 ft by 40 ft box or a married pair. Design live load for the floor should follow the adopted code rather than a showroom card.

Delivery may be a set-on-piers scope. Ask who supplies the skirt, the stairs and the electrical service drop. A muddy access road can rule out a module whose transport envelope is wider than the gate. Wind exposure category on an open site is often more severe than a sheltered yard, so the design wind speed has to be the project value.

Occupant load, exits, accessibility and the school or campus jurisdiction sit ahead of finish colors. A relocatable classroom is not automatically a HUD Code dwelling. Say which regime applies. Fire-resistance rating of the corridor or the wall between rooms, plus acoustic expectations, change the wall build-up and the thermal transmittance target.

Documents to request include the floor plan, the exit analysis the supplier is willing to provide, and calculations for the quoted loads. Delivery stages split into factory completion, ship, set and local inspections. A photo of another district project is not approval for this site.

A workforce camp adds sleeping count, wash and meal modules, and the utility corridor between them. Plumbing scope and the foundation interface for each box should be listed. An industrial workshop or hangar may leave volumetric modules entirely and move to a rigid frame with purlins, girts and a clear span. Eave height and door openings then matter more than a room schedule.

Ground snow load in psf and seismic design category are project data. A 30 psf snow load and seismic design category C are examples of the cells to fill, not defaults from this desk. If they are missing, the quotation should say which assumption it used. Crane beams or a mezzanine are collateral loads, not free extras. A 50 ft clear span, 20 ft bay spacing and an 18 ft eave height move the brief from a room module to a rigid frame with purlins and girts. Quantity might be one building or a repeat of identical bays. Destination ZIP code and the crane lift plan still apply. Thermal transmittance, written as a U-value or an R-19 target, and the fire-resistance rating stay with the wall assembly.

Volumetric boxes finish more work before they travel, which helps a remote camp with little site labor, until the road width stops the module. Panelized walls pack tighter and ask the site crew to close the building in the weather window. A standard 12 ft module is faster to compare when it fits. A custom span fits the equipment and needs engineering time. Shell pricing leaves local trades with the buyer. Turnkey pricing coordinates more of those trades and still needs an exclusion list. Neither column is a market discount.

Limits: without the project address, no one can claim code compliance. Without a stated R-value or U-value, energy comparisons are incomplete. Without the scope word, shell versus installed, the prices are not the same kind of number. Review inquiry options or send the use and the constraints.
