Overview

Efficient prefabrication and offsite construction are dependent on some key design decisions early on. Understanding the constraints and opportunities for a range of prefabricated components and systems is an exciting challenge, opening possibilities for designers and developers. This webinar introduces prefabricated timber systems and good DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) practices that enable the seamless integration of timber systems into your design.

Description

The speakers from Offsite Design have European background in timber engineering, prefabrication, and construction. They have worked in the timber design and construction space in New Zealand for over a decade and are helping local companies to get into quality prefabrication processes and projects.


An easy to digest 15-minute presentation followed by a 25-minute opportunity to pose questions to our topic expert.

NZIQS and RAB CPD points are available to:

  • Registrants who watch the live webinar or
  • Absentee registrants who watch the replay within one week after the live webinar.
