Can you think of a type of project where it would be crucial to use volumetric construction?
How long did it take to construct Container City 1 and how long it would have taken if constructed the traditional way? Container City 1
What could be the practical considerations for volumetric construction?
Volumetric construction: bathroom and kitchen pods Bathroom in a box
Types of panels Open panels Closed panels Concrete panels
Composite panels SIPS
Can you identify the 11-step process for the manufacturing of OSBs?
Advantages of using SIPs • Pre-assembled from the factory • Three times stronger than conventional stud walls • Allowing for design flexibility • Protection of the insulation material • Using recycled wood chips instead of newly-cut lumber
Sub-assemblies and components Pre-fabricated foundations (e.g. ground beams) Floor cassettes
Pre-cast stairs Roof cassettes Pre-assembled roof structure
