Great article as always. If folks are not aware, there are now standards that are associated with pre-fab offsite construction for different assemblies. ICC has two ( https://www.iccsafe.org/advocacy/safety-toolkits/offsite-construction/ ) and ASSE has one ( https://assewebstore.com/asse-lec-2012-2021a-download/ ) specific to plumbing and mechanical systems. It wasn’t long ago that when a PE needed a rooftop air handler, they would design the entire system themselves by specifying individual compressors, coils, fans, etc. Today, they select a packaged RTU. A similar trend is starting up with packaged plumbing system available from manufacturers. Will be interesting how and where GC's and engineers adopt the concept.
