HOW WE HELP
Our TOaaS can help you enable Prefab on your project in 5 steps. 
Planning
  • AECInspire team shares project checklist & a general estimate for the specific project.
  • The Contractor shares project documents and defines the project scope, including the Prefab strategy.
  • AECInspire team creates and submits a detailed proposal to the Contractor.
  • The Contractor reviews and approves the proposal.
Kickoff
  • TOaaS kickoff meeting is with the Contractor, Prefab, and AECInspire teams.
  • The primary goal is to understand the Contractor’s layout, documentation, and process requirements for the defined project scope.
  • If the Prefab strategy includes the use of a Manufactured Assembly Provider (MAP), Introductions and recommendations will be part of the kickoff process.
Validation
  • AECInspire team will complete sample Take Off deliverables of key areas for review, modification requests, and sign-off by the Contractor and Prefab teams.
  • This step ensures that the deliverables meet the specific needs of each of the key consumers of the deliverables.
Take Off Completed
  • With the approved sample Take Off deliverables as a template, the AECInspire team will complete the Take Off and create the deliverables for all areas of the defined scope.
Review and Approve
  • The Contractor and Prefab teams review all deliverables and sign-off on TOaaS project completion.

Questions and Answers about TOaaS

What is the AECInspire MAP Network?

The AECInspire Manufactured Assembly Provider (MAP) Network is comprised of manufacturers and contractors from around the nation. Members of the network have been building construction assemblies for their own use and gained the experience and efficiencies to be able to produce for others outside of their organization.

How do I trust that the manufactured assembly provider produces what I need?

Our MAP Network is a curated group of Construction Manufacturers that have years of producing assemblies. For each project, we look at the scope and content of the project and can partner your project with a provider that will best suit your project needs.

How can I implement Manufactured Assemblies so quickly?

Our Manufactured Assembly Provider (MAP) Network has been executing construction assemblies for years. Let our team guide you through a proven process and connect you with the correct provider.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Our TOaaS turnaround time is dependent on the size and complexity of the project. Most projects begin within a week of the final scope is decided. Our team can scale to match your project demands. Materials and progress can be viewed throughout the project as you can follow along with your own access to AECInspire

What do I, the contractor, need to provide?

Drawings, project details, scope, and a couple of hours with your preconstruction team are all we need to get started!!

How much time will your Preconstruction team need to spend during TOaaS process?

Like any service, our first project together will be learning for both sides. With our experience and drive to provide the best deliverables, we take the time to fully understand your company’s methods and ensure what we provide is complimentary to your process. The more projects we do together, the smoother the process becomes.
