A new approach to Offsite building solutions

Foreword

The modernisation of the construction industry has been increasingly compared to what happens in the automotive sector, in which components are manufactured at the factory through a streamlined process, thus ensuring adequate quality and the lowest possible carbon footprint. We must therefore mention offsite construction as the method that comes closer to this effective working approach for the building industry.

What is offsite construction

Offsite construction consists in creating different parts of a building in a factory and subsequently assembling them on the building’s actual site, as opposed to the traditional construction methods where all the work is done sequentially onsite.

Offsite construction is considered, as we have just mentioned, the key to modernize the construction industry, and it must be approached differently, not related to building prefabricated modules or units, but rather to creating a highly adaptable building frame, with high structural flexibility to manage indoor space according to the desired result.
