Full Description
This book brings together the latest developments in modern construction and offsite construction methods. It does so by capturing the current state of practice, future outlook, social and economic benefits, and challenges and risks associated with the management of projects involving modern methods of construction and offsite construction.Modern methods of construction encompass the building approaches that strive for higher quality outputs, boost project efficiencies like faster delivery, cost optimisation, and defects minimisation, as well as those which enhance sustainability proficiencies, such as waste minimisation and reduction in carbon footprint. These methods typically incorporate the adoption of various leading-edge strategies, including but not limited to offsite construction and additive manufacturing, along with technological innovations for site processes, and construction automations.Recent trends, such as stringent on-site health and safety practices and post-pandemic moves to reduce reliance on on-site workers, have further encouraged the construction industry to adopt modern methods of construction and offsite construction. The Body of Knowledge consolidated in this book will equip project managers, industry practitioners, students and academic researchers with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills required not only to better manage construction projects with modern methods of construction and offsite construction, but also to make optimal decisions in selecting suitable modern methods to be deployed on a project, together with an appropriate mix of off-site and on-site operations.
