Offsite Construction

Offsite construction is a method where building components are designed and manufactured away from the final construction site, often in controlled factory environments. Offsite construction is gaining traction as it addresses industry challenges like labor shortages, rising costs, and the need for sustainable practices.

Prefab and Modular. Key concepts in offsite construction include prefabrication and modular construction. All modular construction is prefabricated, but not all prefabrication is modular. Modular is more comprehensive, while prefab focuses on individual parts or assemblies.

Lean methodology is another key concept in offsite construction, as it focuses on reducing waste, optimizing processes, and maximizing value – principles that align perfectly with offsite’s controlled, factory-based approach.
