What is DMC?
DMC stands for Design Manufacture Construct, a proprietary building delivery system developed by BLOX. This approach integrates design, manufacturing, and construction into a unified process, enabling designers to leverage manufacturing techniques to simplify construction. The result is better buildings delivered faster and with less waste, and cost.

How long does the whole process take?
While specific timelines can vary based on project scope and complexity, BLOX's DMC approach is designed to deliver buildings twice as fast as traditional construction methods. This accelerated timeline is achieved through the integration of design, manufacturing, and construction processes, reducing delays and improving efficiency. Utilizing our existing products and finishes makes the process even shorter and more efficient.

Why DMC over traditional Construction?
Choosing BLOX's DMC approach over traditional construction offers several advantages: Speed: Projects are completed in approximately half the time. Quality: Integrated processes ensure higher quality outcomes. Efficiency: Reduced waste and streamlined operations. Sustainability: Lower carbon footprint due to efficient resource use. Cost-Effectiveness: Faster delivery and reduced waste can lead to cost savings.

What services are included by BLOX?
BLOX provides a comprehensive suite of services encompassing the entire building lifecycle: Design: Architectural and engineering services tailored to client needs. Manufacturing: Off-site fabrication of modular components in a controlled environment. Construction: On-site assembly and integration of modules into a complete building. Project Management: Coordination of all phases to ensure timely and efficient delivery. This integrated approach ensures consistency, quality, and efficiency throughout the project.

What does the finished building include from BLOX?
A finished building delivered by BLOX typically includes: Fully Assembled Structure: Modular units assembled into a complete building. Interior Finishes: Flooring, walls, ceilings, and built-in furniture as per specifications. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Systems: Installed and tested systems ready for operation. Fixtures and Equipment: Depending on the project, may include casework & storage, medical & lab equipment, lighting, and other specialized installations. Client provided equipment and furnishing can also be accommodated when coordinated during the planning process. The exact inclusions can vary based on the project's requirements and client specifications; however, choosing our existing product configuration and design is the best path for efficiency and cost savings for systems who want to scale quickly and effectively.

What does the owner need to provide for the new Building?
BLOX's scope of work typically is turn-key and includes planning, design & engineering, permitting, site work and foundations, manufacturing, delivery, project management, and General Contractor services. It is important for owners to coordinate closely with BLOX to understand specific responsibilities and coordination requirements for their project. Loose furniture and equipment are typically owner provided; however, BLOX's team of experts can provide furniture packages.
