, 1. 3 criteria for technology to thrive ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER Environment, Organization, Technology = Innovation
2. Environment ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER Team, Type, Location
3. Team ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER Clients, Contractors, Design Team Members
4. In order to prefabricate the team needs ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER (5 characteristics) ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER Experience = A
team that
has used ottsite fabrication on other projects or has had exposure to prefabrication previous to the building project will be more likely to use
it again.
• Control ✓✓ CORRECT ANSWER A client who wants to maintain control of project costs, schedule, and quality of output may choose ottsite production.
• Repetition = A client and contractor who build together often may find ottsite fabrication beneficial because the systems that are developed may be deployed in other
projects.
