**The project proposes an 'Offsite Accelerator' for SMEs**Supporting the UK construction SME supply chain to increase work offsite to meet the demands of the Construction Leadership Council's (CLC) 'Site Operating Procedures' for safe working amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.In the case of the construction industry, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted how the usual way of construction work -- a highly transient, high population workforce that mobilises to sites, and moves between sites on a weekly basis - is largely unsustainable, especially for the SME supply chain. The reliance on site-based labour increases movements to and from sites and makes working whilst maintaining social distancing close to impossible.With postponed operations likely to affect the workforce for months, SMEs are in an extremely vulnerable position, and unlikely to be able to support their workforces through this period.This project creates a catalyst opportunity to drive innovation into SME supply chains and transform towards flexible, resilient, offsite focused delivery models which allow individuals or small teams within SMEs to progress works whilst keeping safe. However, cashflow, experience and expertise are still out of reach for SMEsOur Offsite Accelerator will leverage Mace's highly experienced technical, design, delivery and commercial resources to help SMEs shift towards Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) business models through collaborative development and trial of offsite sub-assemblies.In the short term, adopting offsite methods will enable SMEs to return to work faster and continue to work during Covid19 restrictions.In both the short and long-term, the project aims to divert 30% of labour away from sites to maintain social distancing, and move towards a more resilient business model that meets both the needs of the industry and the wider needs of society.

**该项目为中小企业提出了一种‘非现场加速器’**支持英国建筑业中小企业供应链增加异地工作，以满足建筑领导委员会(CLC)《现场操作程序》对安全工作的要求。就建筑业而言，新冠肺炎疫情突显了通常的建筑工作方式--高度暂住、高人口的劳动力转移到工地，并每周在工地之间流动--在很大程度上是不可持续的，尤其是对中小企业供应链来说。对现场劳动力的依赖增加了进出现场的人员流动，使得在保持社会距离的同时工作几乎是不可能的。由于运营延迟可能会影响劳动力数月，中小企业处于极其脆弱的地位，不太可能在这段时间内支持他们的劳动力。该项目创造了一个催化剂机会，可以推动中小企业供应链的创新，并向灵活、有弹性、以异地为重点的交付模式转变，使中小企业中的个人或小团队能够在确保安全的同时推进工作。然而，中小企业仍然无法获得现金流、经验和专业知识我们的非现场加速器将利用MACE经验丰富的技术、设计、交付和商业资源，通过协作开发和试验非现场部件来帮助中小企业转向现代施工方法(MMC)业务模式。短期而言，采用非现场方法将使中小企业能够更快地重返工作岗位，并在公约19限制期间继续工作。从短期和长期来看，该项目的目标是将30%的劳动力从现场转移出去，以保持社会距离，并转向更具弹性的商业模式，满足行业需求和更广泛的社会需求。
