Introducing Modular and Prefabricated Construction Methodology & Design
Pre-fabricated buildings is not a new concept, having existed since the early 1900s in the United States. However, it only started to gain prominence until the idea of kit homes was introduced. Such technologies allows for assembly-line production and can be mass-produced at much lower costs and at a faster pace.
Through these morning sessions, you will gain what modular construction and prefabrication are, the current and future trends of such building technologies around the world and explore how to incorporate these building techniques into your architectural designs and supply chain process. As well as the design software requirements and elements that would help enable project delivery such as Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design and Construction.
