The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee invites contributions to its new inquiry Off-site Manufacture for Construction.
The UK construction industry was worth nearly £100 billion to the UK economy in 2016. However, it suffers from poor productivity and has not experienced the improvements in productivity seen in other sectors.
Off-site manufacture for construction involves bringing together a range of construction processes, components, elements or modules in a factory before installation into their final location. It is believed that off-site manufacture could help to improve the productivity of the construction industry.
This inquiry will consider the potential benefits of off-site manufacture for construction and any drawbacks and obstacles to its wider use.
