Methodology for Quantifying the Benefits of Offsite Construction
Join us at this free launch Webinar for CIRIA’s new good practice guide C792 Methodology for quantifying the benefits of offsite construction produced in association with the Laing O’Rourke Centre, University of Cambridge. The guide serves as a call to action to transform the way the construction industry assesses project performance, opening the door to evidence-based comparisons and data driven decisions to establish best-practice in the industry.
Background
At present there is no industry standard methodology for assessing the benefits of off-site techniques against traditional construction practices. Most assessments are made through the client’s tender process on a case by case basis. This guide proposes a methodology to enable easy comparison between construction approaches, making it possible to keep consistent records across projects and identify all the possible benefits available.
Why attend
• Discover the key outcomes of this guide presented by the research team
• Explore how you/your company might make use of this framework
• Hear perspectives from experts including Professor Lord Robert Mair, University of Cambridge and Construction Innovation Hub’s Keith Waller
• Learn how the methodology is being applied in different sectors
• Participate in a Q&A session with academics and key industry players
