The offsite and modular market is continuing to grow. This book
builds on the success of a number of initiatives, including
formative findings from literature, research and development and
practice-based evidence (success stories). It presents new thinking
and direction from leading experts in the fields of: design,
process, construction, engineering, manufacturing, logistics,
robotics, delivery platforms, business and transformational
strategies, change management, legislation, organisational
learning, software design, innovation and biomimetics. This book is
particularly novel and timely, as it brings together a number of
cogent subjects under one collective 'umbrella'. Each of these
chapters contain original findings, all of which culminate in three
'Key Learning Points' which provide new insight into the
cross-cutting themes, interrelationships and symbiotic forces that
exist between each of these chapters. This approach also provides
readers with new contextualised understanding of the wider issues
affecting the offsite market, from the need to embrace societal
challenges, through to the development of rich value-laden
solutions required for creating sector resilience. Content includes
a balance between case studies and practice-based work, through to
technical topics, theoretical propositions, pioneering research and
future offsite opportunities ready for exploitation. This work
includes: stakeholder integration, skills acquisition, new business
models and processes, circularity and sustainable business
strategies, robotics and automation, innovation and change, lean
production methodologies and new construction methods, Design for
Manufacturing and Assembly, scaled portfolio platforms and
customisability, new legal regulatory standards and conformance
issues and offsite feasibility scenario development/integration.
