StockGuru Profile GDVI

Global Diversified Industries Inc. (OTCBB: GDVI) participates in modular construction. GDVI operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Lutrex Enterprises, Inc., an entity, which holds equipment and inventory for the holding company and Global Modular, Inc., a sales, marketing and manufacturing of modular type structures and also is responsible for modular construction work and renovation.

Prefabricated modular construction is in a full swing revival mode. R. Buckminster Fuller was one of the first but he did not have CAD!

Computer technology now enables off-site fabricators to produce higher-quality housing than on-site construction teams can. By marrying CAD directly with production machinery, digital directives coming straight from an architect’s computer screen are removing the middleman on the way to the factory.

The traditional tripartite balance of architect, contractor, and client now gives architects, at long last, the upper hand.

The architects and the manufacturers of modular systems are speaking the same language, through CAD/CAM programs that can “talk” to factory-floor robotics. This technology makes modular a viable competitor in the prefab industry.

CAD/CAM enables project teams to produce buildings that combine the best skills of architects and manufacturers. This is possible because the CAM side of the equation, in particular, enables “mass customization”—a variety of essentially duplicative designs but with certain components altered to fit specific usage requirements. Computers used in factory settings enable parts manufacturers to adjust their machinery to produce different components without retooling an entire line, saving time and creating production efficiencies. It has been predicted that in ten years, perhaps even five, a majority of projects in certain building types are going to get built this way.”

Prefabrication modular can mean savings in labor and construction costs, and it no longer means the end results are cheap and chintzy. In fact it can produce a higher quality by having everything built in a controlled factory environment with computer measurements that can improve upon onsite craftsmanship.

And then there’s speed! Prefab modular has a serious advantage over conventional construction —speed.

Speed in modular prefabrication is less disruptive, which makes it ideally suited for projects that are on a tight schedule such as schools.

Stay tuned as we examine this industry and Global Diversified’s place within it!
