It’s happening now and into the future. A report into New Zealand’s construction industry confirms that business is booming. The findings will help companies with their plans for staffing and new equipment.
Changes are needed to improve productivity in the building industry. We look at some key changes and innovations that could bring big improvements.
In a new series, we look at the different types of prefab – from components, panels, modules and hybrid, to complete building – and how to apply them. First up are component-based systems.
When individual companies improve their productivity, the overall industry productivity is raised. BRANZ has identified performance measures to help our companies become more successful and therefore more productive.
Ignite Director Adam Taylor, urges architects to embrace all the possibilities of BIM. Those who don’t might just get left behind.
The building information modelling (BIM) process is intrinsically collaborative, working best when everyone’s needs are understood.
The Group Builders Project report for the Productivity Partnership has identified ways the home building industry could be more productive.
Next in the prefab construction series we look at potential hybrid systems on offer – specifically hybrid modules + panel systems – from the benefits of standardisation to allowing for individual design elements.
Why are infrastructure projects often less likely to be plagued by troubles than large building projects? Is risk managed better on the horizontal side of construction than in the vertical sector, and what lessons can be learned?
A starting point to improve building and construction productivity is having a holistic understanding of the local industry. The Productivity Partnership has made the first steps, identifying important knowledge gaps and the key research questions.
