Modular & Offsite Construction
Offsite Construction (OSC) offers many benefits. The planning, design and fabrication of building elements, modules and components are done in a controlled factory environment before being transported to the construction site. Offsite construction can optimise the supply chain by integrating the traditional construction stages. This will result in faster construction, better performance, higher quality, and full compliance with the increasingly strict building regulations.Offsite Construction is also known as Prefabrication, Rapid Build, Offsite Manufacturing, Precision Engineered Building Systems, Modern Methods of Construction and Offsite Manufacturing. It produces 2-Dimensional Panellised Systems (2D) or 3-Dimensional Modular Systems (3D) for use in the design and construction of buildings. Offsite Construction will be further streamlined by digital technology, resulting in additional cost and time savings as well as improvements to overall quality.All types of building, including residential, industrial, commercial and institutional, can benefit from offsite construction techniques.The adoption of Offsite Construction can help overcome the shortage of skills faced by many builders. Offsite Construction could help to ease the housing crisis by building homes faster and more efficiently.Speakers confirmed: Maurice BuckleyGerard Corcoran, Chairman of the Office of Public WorksSmart Cities EuropeTom MoloneyManaging Director CISArthur o'BrienManaging Director - C+W O'Brien ArchitectsConor DowlingMary White, Programme Manager for Dublin's Smart SandyfordHead of Brexit Unit NSAICO-LOCATED EventsOUR MEDIA PARTNERSCONTACT.
