Prefabrication In Timber Construction
Typically the choice to use on-site wood framing vs. some level of prefabrication depends on many
factors. Prefabricated and modular construction can offer a number of benefits.
Prefabricated and modular construction
Although the choice to use on-site wood framing versus some level of prefabrication depends on many factors, prefabricated and modular construction can offer a number of benefits, including faster construction, improved material efficiency and worker safety, enhanced quality assurance, and reduced material, labor and interest costs
Design for modular construction
The modular construction involves conducting the bulk of the construction process off-site in a controlled setting, hence it can contribute to
improved quality, less waste, increased control of cost, and reduced risk.
Ensuring adaptability in modular construction
This thesis explores how production technology/ practices in prefabricated modular construction can influence the process of building adaptation to future social alterations.
Configuration of Modularised Building Systems
The aim of the thesis is to study and propose solutions of the integration between architectural design, engineering and production using mass customisation principles
