This study seeks to clearly characterise the levels of prefabrication and to investigate the performance of modular prefabrication considering acoustic constrain, seismic resistance, thermal behaviour, energy consumption, and life cycle analysis of existing prefab cases.

Spatial Timber Assemblies is an innovative robotic prefabrication process for timber frame modules. It combines timber frame construction with the precision and speed of robotic fabrication, regardless of the level of structural complexity.

This paper is part of an on-going research on the adoption of modular construction through Industrialised Building System (IBS) approach in the Malaysian construction industry

Study of the environmental impact that the use of wood as a construction material can produce, taking into account variables and indicators that allow a quantitative evaluation of the magnitude of the impact in the specific case of the construction of multi-family multi-storey residential buildings in Europe.

Evolution of balloon-frame based timber constructions. Foundations, structure, exterior insulation, interior claddings and exterior envelope. An example of a detached single-family house made with large-format laminated timber panels.

A perspective on the future building industry

Factory-produced homes produce less carbon than traditional methods of residential construction

A modular wooden cabin has won the world hotel building of the 2022 award.

This is a guide with solutions to design and build with solid wood panel systems using connections, screws and membranes.

Various matrials are used in prefabricated construction, such as wood based and non-wood based materials. Climate of the environment does not influence each material in the same manner. This information should be taken in consideration as early as project making phase, where an optimal material for a prefabricated wood structure should be choosen whose propperties will satisfy given requirements for a longer period of time. This paper will present materials used in prefabricated construction, construction requirements, influence of environmental factors on materials. On top of all that an algorithm that helps choose optimal material for prefabricated wood construction will be presented
