Over two fifths of owners in the UK and Ireland are considering moving to off-site manufacturing methods. Manufacturing off-site in a controlled environment is safer and more sustainable. And as an owner, you can expect greater certainty over the schedule and budget. So, how can prefab benefit the construction industry today?
