Offsite Manufacturing

Annotation

Off-site Construction, Off-site Manufacturing, Manufactured Construction, Modern Methods of Construction, no matter what the name, the fundamental idea is to move some effort away from the construction site to a more controlled environment of the manufacturing floor. Although we have come a long way with cranes, robotics and laser guided precision construction; fundamentally, the focus of all these innovations is to speed up the construction process, minimizing waste and inefficiencies, maximising quality, and improving health and safety. This e-book, through the compilation of seven papers, provides a wide spectrum of research which provides critical reflection and promotes deeper understanding of the importance of these factors in the manufactured construction sector.
