Modular Power Solutions (MPS) needed to replace a fragmented technology stack with a single system that could support large-scale modular data center projects from design through delivery. MPS, a subsidiary of Rosendin Holdings, was founded in 2011 to bring end-to-end design, engineering, and construction services to these jobs. Before Autodesk Build, different teams used different solutions, and information was lost when work moved between departments. That created inefficiencies, communication breakdowns, potential rework, and schedule delays. As MPS grew, it needed a scalable construction management platform that could connect designers, engineers, and electricians and improve how projects were planned, designed, and built. MPS had also overhauled its business to take a manufacturing approach to construction. The company made 80% of its design and construction repeatable and had produced more than 800MW of power, so standardization and data consistency became critical. ## What is Modular Power Solutions' operating profile? Modular Power Solutions manufactures large-scale, fully integrated modular power systems for data center work and other applications. Its products range from standard skid-based solutions for interior buildings to fully weatherproof enclosures for exterior use. Customer snapshot: - Firm size: fewer than 500 employees - Firm type: specialty contractor - Revenue: N/A - Focus area: electrical - Headquarters: Sherman, TX, US - Phase: design, plan, build, operate This operating model requires tight coordination across office teams, factory-floor teams, and field-facing project teams so the company can maintain quality and schedule reliability. ## How did Autodesk Build become the system of record for Modular Power Solutions? Modular Power Solutions standardized its collaboration process by adopting Autodesk Build within Autodesk Forma, formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud. The team piloted Build to centralize files, contracts, drawings, and meeting minutes in one location and standardize processes across departments. The pilot quickly showed that Build could support multiple applications across the business. As of January 2022, all MPS projects were on Autodesk Build. Alec Overn, Business Manager at Modular Power Solutions, said each team had been using a different solution and that the company needed a scalable way to improve communication and keep project teams connected. He described Autodesk Build as the solution that consolidated different software and offered a one-stop approach to streamline business processes. ## How did Modular Power Solutions standardize adoption across teams? Modular Power Solutions took a phased rollout approach to make adoption successful. The first step was gathering feedback from department leads so the team could customize the solution to how each group worked. After that, MPS partnered with Autodesk to run in-depth training sessions with each department. Overn said MPS made a conscious effort to show the value of the modules, invest in training, and give people the tools they needed to succeed in the transition. That approach helped teams accept the new process and reinforced that the platform was practical for daily work. MPS also standardized its shop-floor workflows. Each workstation in the integration facility is task-based, and the product moves across the shop floor in an assembly-line process. With standardized checklists, processes, and templates, MPS can control how information is documented, optimize workflows, save time, and drive further efficiencies. ## How did Autodesk Build improve RFI, submittal, and change control? Autodesk Build gave Modular Power Solutions a controlled way to manage requests from the factory floor, conduct evaluations, and share revised drawings without losing information. Its configurable project management workflows helped MPS streamline review and approval cycles. Mike Sweet, Director of Product Development at Modular Power Solutions, said Autodesk Build streamlined the RFI and submittal process, increased visibility, and gave teams immediate access to the information they needed. He added that capturing RFIs and submittals in one system and linking the required information sped up approvals, which was a major change from the previous workflow of using Excel and manual tracking. Build also helped MPS maintain quality control. By seeing the history of an issue or RFI and the reference materials associated with it before closure, the company can show owners how it controls quality. That visibility is especially important because MPS must pass audits on large-scale data center projects. The company can also track engineering change requests and notices more easily to support compliance. ## How did Autodesk Build change meeting management and team coordination? The Meeting Tool in Autodesk Build overhauled how Modular Power Solutions schedules and conducts meetings. Before Build, each department took notes and assigned tasks differently. Now, MPS manages meeting information digitally and keeps RFIs, submittals, issues, notes, and action items in one place so everything is traceable. Tanner Rhea, Logistics Coordinator at Modular Power Solutions, said the team created recurring projects for meetings to keep them accessible and actionable. He explained that, before Build, half of the staff could end up sitting in meetings waiting for one or two updates. With Build, MPS can minimize meeting participants by 75% and circulate comprehensive notes and actions while tagging the relevant teams. Rhea also said industrialized construction helps shift scope offsite into a controlled environment, which improves schedule reliability and creates a safer environment. He noted that keeping most of the labor constant also helps eliminate ebbs and flows and supports employee longevity. ## What operational results did Modular Power Solutions achieve with Autodesk Build? Modular Power Solutions gained a single system that supports the complete project lifecycle and helps the company capture data consistently across projects and departments. That consistency improves communication, reduces manual work, and gives MPS a better foundation for continuous process improvement. With Autodesk Build, MPS can improve performance, deliver higher-quality projects on time, and stay more agile, productive, and economical in how it executes construction work. The platform also helps the company maintain visibility, support audits, and keep teams aligned as it continues to grow. ## Frequently asked questions ### How can a modular manufacturing team standardize handoffs between engineering, manufacturing, and project teams on large data center jobs?
