According to previous research by the SBEnrc, ‘The manufacture of buildings is defined as the
manufacture of entire buildings, or components of
buildings, in centralised facilities using repeatable
processes based on traditional building techniques
to achieve parallel construction outcomes, prior to
transportation for erection on site’.(1)
The benefits associated with manufacturing
buildings are extensive as outlined in the industry
report for SBEnrc Project 1.29,(1) with significant
improvements now demonstrated across all three
elements of sustainability, namely: Economic

All leading to a strong business case. This project builds on previous SBEnrc research in this area and focuses on providing an approach to identify opportunities to increase the creation of value in the building manufacture supply chain.
