Focuses on evaluating the potential for the construction industry's use of the Interim Product Database Process (IPD), a process used by the shipbuilding industry, incorporating scalable, pre-designed blocks/modules that consist of hierarchical interim sub-assemblies, stored in an all-encompassing database. Identifies examples of construction projects that have incorporated one or more aspects of the IPD process and that have moved beyond the standard "one-off" modular construction approach. Presents case studies from a broad cross section of the industry that include pharmaceutical (manufacturing and R&D), petrochemical, residential, office, hospitality, and civil works (dams and bridges).
