Controlled shop environment where a modular structure is assembled before transport to site.

Pillar III: Construction

RTM Builds — shop-built, site-delivered.

Ready-to-Move structures fabricated in a controlled environment, finished to spec off-site, and set on your lot with engineering oversight through commissioning.

View RTM Scope

The build happens in the shop. The site receives a finished module.

RTM is a distinct delivery model — not conventional stick-built on site. Structure, envelope, and critical finishes progress under roof, with weather and tolerance controlled before transport. 2 Solidae engineers the module, coordinates fabrication, and manages set and connection as one accountable sequence.

Capabilities

RTM delivery scope

From module design through shop fabrication, transport, set, and commissioning — one team owns the handoffs that usually fail between trades.

01

Shop fabrication

Climate-controlled assembly of structural frames, envelope layers, and interior rough-ins — welds, fasteners, and tolerances held to an engineering record, not field improvisation.

02

Module QC & staging

Pre-transport inspection, dimensional verification, MEP rough-in checks, and staging protocols so the module leaves the shop exactly as documented.

Structural module framing and assembly inside a controlled fabrication facility.

03

Transport & set

Load planning, route assessment, crane coordination, and precision set on prepared foundations or pads — with engineering oversight through the move.

04

Connection & commissioning

Utility tie-ins, envelope continuity at joints, final MEP terminations, and functional testing before turnover to occupancy or the next construction phase.

Illustrative delivery

Controlled from fabrication floor to set on site.

Representative imagery of the RTM workflow — shop assembly, structural module, and engineering documentation. Illustrative of capability and delivery standards; not a published project record.

Shop assembly

Structure and envelope progress under roof — weather variables removed from critical joints and finishes.

Structural steel module framing prepared for transport and site set.

Module fabrication

Frames, connections, and rough-ins built to tolerance before the module leaves the shop floor.

Engineering documentation and structural model review for modular delivery.

Engineering record

BIM, load paths, and set sequencing documented before fabrication — not reconstructed after delivery.

Completed modular building set on an urban lot — illustrative of sited RTM delivery.

Sited delivery

Shop-built modules set on prepared foundations — residential, utility, and remote-site applications.

How we work

Shop to site in four controlled stages.

Each stage produces a record the next stage depends on. RTM fails when shop drawings, transport assumptions, and site prep are treated as separate contracts.

  1. 01 · Design & module planningStructural system, envelope strategy, transport limits, crane reach, and foundation interface defined before fabrication releases.
  2. 02 · Shop fabricationControlled assembly, dimensional QC, MEP rough-ins, and pre-transport inspection under one revision history.
  3. 03 · Transport & setLoad engineering, route planning, site prep verification, crane lift, and precision placement on pad or foundation.
  4. 04 · Connection & handoverUtility tie-ins, joint sealing, commissioning tests, and turnover documentation for occupancy or next-phase construction.

The standard

RTM held to an engineering record.

A module that arrives on site is only successful if it matches what was engineered, survives the move, and connects cleanly. We document every assumption that matters.

01

Tolerances before transport

Dimensional verification, connection point surveys, and load-path checks completed in the shop — not discovered at set.

02

Envelope continuity at joints

Thermal and weather barriers planned through module interfaces so performance does not stop at the shop wall.

03

Set-day accountability

Crane plan, foundation readiness, and connection sequencing owned by the same team that released the module from fabrication.

Engineering and construction on one team.

RTM modules designed by our structural and architectural disciplines, fabricated under our construction oversight, and set with the same accountability that runs our site-built work. No handoff gaps between the drawing and the shop floor.
