Off-site construction is a modern method of construction, based on off-site manufacturing of building elements. This method is widely used for housing and in the education sector offering economical, environmental and social advantages.

Modular construction involves the manufacture and fitout of steel framed building modules within a factory controlled environment, whilst ground works and foundations are prepared on site. The modular units are then delivered to site and craned into position to form the building. These simultaneous activities automatically compress the program and thus the project is delivered in less than half the time of a traditionally constructed facility.

But users, according to you, what are the key issues linked with off site construction?

Zoning of the site

idea posted by Anjali Sinha Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers

If it's not zoned for what we want to build, nothing can be taken for a variance, or to change the zoning. If it's zoned correctly, find a builder/contractor or survey/land planning company or realtor to get an idea of what may be some of the issues in order to build on the site -- too steep, heavily treed, flood plain, seismic zone. There could be many, many different issues with which to contend, or it could be a very desirable location.

What are the key issues in Off-site construction?

idea posted by Kocherlakota Satya Venkatesh Dy.Manager, IVRCL

The pre-Fabricated structures can be fabricated off site , then transferred to Work site and erected.Similarly Pre stressed Concrete structures specially used in bridges are pre-stressed, Casted in casting yard off site then  transffered to bridge  construction site and erected.You need not bother about the land constraint at work site unlike the other tradinitional method specially in City areas.Similarly plenty of other structures both steel and concrete are pre constructed and brought to  work site and can be  erected.

This method not only saves time but also saves energy and thus money.
