Overview of off-site construction with insights on prefabrication benefits, design coordination, code compliance, and addressing common constraints.

Join WoodWorks and Prefab Panel Supplier Ron Anderson + Sons as they discuss issues and strategies to navigate the world of Off-site Construction, explaining the benefits of prefabrication and the affect on the design and construction process.  Learn about the different strategies involved in off-site construction and support in navigating compliance with code requirements, and coordination with a prefabricated component supplier.  The discussion will also cover common constraints like high seismic forces and high efficiency envelopes and how to address these with off-site construction.

This one hour presentation will give you a deeper understanding of the off-site construction process and how it may affect your role in design and construction of wood buildings.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn when off-site construction may bring benefits of both cost and schedule savings.

2. Learn how to ensure design coordination and specifications are aligned with project requirements and prefabricated component supplier constraints.

3. Learn how construction strategies and detailing is affected when using prefabricated components and how to ensure successful project outcomes.
