Recent issues of Build have looked at component, panel, module and hybrid prefabrication. We finish the series by considering the complete prefab building.
Building information modelling (BIM) makes big promises. So why do some projects fail to capture a decent return on investment in BIM processes? Insufficient collaboration is their undoing, but that’s easily fixed.
