Increasing Construction Sector Productivity Through the Use of Integrated Offsite Steel Modules

“该项目旨在通过使用非现场制造的集成钢模块来提高建筑部门的生产率，并将有助于实现政府的目标，即减少现场施工时间，提高施工生产率，提高建筑工地的安全性，并解决现场技能短缺问题。钢是原始的场外框架材料，高达90%的钢结构已经在场外制造。该项目将为钢结构供应链提供知识、信心和激励，以采取转型步骤，将集成的场外钢模块纳入主流钢框架建筑的设计、制造和施工中。该项目将开发并发布免费的在线指南，设计原型可用于工程师，主承包商，钢结构承包商，机电承包商和其他人设计，制造和建造主流钢框架建筑，包括集成的场外钢模块。这将推动集成异地钢模块的快速普及，并提高主流钢建筑市场的异地制造和组装率。”

"This project aims to improve construction sector productivity through the use of offsite manufactured integrated steel modules and will help meet government objectives to reduce onsite construction time, increase construction productivity, improve safety on construction sites and address onsite skills shortages. Steel is the original offsite framing material with up to 90% of structural steelwork already manufactured offsite. This project will provide the steel construction supply chain with the knowledge, confidence and incentives to take the transformational step of including integrated offsite steel modules into the design, manufacture and construction of mainstream steel framed buildings.The project will develop and publish, in a free online guide, design prototypes that can be used by engineers, main contractors, steelwork contractors, M&E contractors and others to design, manufacture and construct mainstream steel framed buildings that include integrated offsite steel modules. This will drive the rapid take up of integrated offsite steel modules and increase the rate of offsite manufacturing and assembly in the mainstream steel building market."
