A complete guide to the whole topic of off-site fabrication is one of international interest, providing as it does an effective construction technique in terms of quality, time, cost, function, productivity and safety. It is adopted worldwide as the ideal means of producing an immense array of elements from structural members, cladding units, bathrooms to fully finished modular buildings. This book provides a complete guide to the subject, by considering the principles, context, applications and implications and in great part consists of many illustrative case studies. |

'This practical book
provides a complete guide to the subject, covering the principles, applications
and implications for design and construction. Numerous case studies and examples
from around the world illustrate the flexibility and adaptability of off-site
fabrication. Practitioners, researchers and students in civil and structural
engineering, building and construction, will find the book provides excellent
guidance to the technology and its effective implementation'. '... it should appeal
to a very wide audience, from students to construction managers. Hopefully it
should inspire them to rethink the construction process'. |
