04 Develop
Advance integrated project delivery frameworks for industrialized housing including predevelopment tools, demand aggregation, and streamlined existing-conditions processes.
Factories need steady orders, but most housing in Baltimore is still bought one project at a time, through design-bid-build. Develop is how BMOD helps developers and community development organizations across the region plan projects that suit offsite construction, and pool their demand.
Outcomes we are working toward
Friction-reducing tools for emerging developers

Offsite, onsite and logistics team capabilities database
Demand aggregation, in plain words
Demand aggregation means coordinating demand from private developers and public agencies, so manufacturers can invest with less risk. When many small projects are pooled into one steady pipeline, a manufacturer can plan production with confidence. Each project then gains from standard parts.
