Preface

This is the first edition of CSA Z250, Process for delivery of volumetric modular buildings . CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support from the Standards Council of Canadas Innovation Program.

This Standard specifies the procedures for a) design; b) quality control in modular manufacturing; c) approvals; d) logistics, transportation and storage; e) non-modular and modular sitework; f) lifting, placement, and setting; g) installation and finishing; and h) commissioning and handover.

1.2 Exclusions This Standard does not cover the procedure for in-factory certification of buildings, modules, or panels. Note: See CSA A277 for the procedure for in-factory certification of buildings, modules, or panels.

1.3 Terminology In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
