KEYNOTE STAGE 1
Volumetric Manufactured Buildings: the modern method of offsite construction with a forward thinking approach
01 March / 10.15 - 11.00
The facts about Volumetric Manufactured Buildings and how a confused construction chain could be slowing progression. Consideration of a future vision from the industry association how the route to 2050 could follow a number of different paths.
Removing the complexity across so called modern methods of construction, diluting myths, and embracing reality. Do consultants requesting embodied carbon figures all want the same information, do they all know what they are asking for? Can a VMB be benchmarked for embodied carbon in the same way as traditional building materials? Is there a better way to compare construction methods?
