• “The question is not do we go prefabricated or not, but which elements of each project are well suited to prefabrication and how is this best achieved.” – Warren McGregor, CEO, prefabAUS
• “By breaking the nexus between site location and the place of construction, prefabrication of complete buildings means that construction is now a global rather than localized industry.” – Warren McGregor, CEO, prefabAUS
• “People often only think of prefabrication as only volumetric boxes. Prefabrication or off-site is actually a continuum of elements ranging from intelligent materials, components, subassemblies and also volumetric modules. Many of these elements are invisible to the design and are integrated at the system level …” –   Amy Kulka- Marks, Off-Site and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Consultant and Speaker, Consultant to Singapore Building & Construction Authority (BCA), President and Founder of XSite Modular
• “Clients must engage with experienced MMC/off-site consultants at the earliest phases (I like to say Moment Zero) of their projects to understand potential constraints, like funding, and provide solutions.”– Amy Kulka- Marks, Off-Site and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Consultant and Speaker, Consultant to Singapore Building & Construction Authority (BCA), President and Founder of XSite Modular
• “You reduce your labor force on-site, you manufacture in a controlled factory environment – not the situation where you have got guys walking everywhere, inclement weather and site access, all the extra cribbing that you need to cater for the site crew, all the OH&S that is so strict on a construction site and all this sort of stuff… It just makes so much more sense.”- John Smoulders FAIB MAIPM JP, Conjoint Professor, University of Newcastle
