CPD: How to design for offsite construction

With multiple sector and building performance challenges it is important for building specifiers to stay relevant and up to date on new industry trends and practices.

As the expectations of each construction project becomes ever more demanding, a process that is pushing offsite construction to the forefront, it is becoming more important than ever for architects to really know the ins and outs of different construction methods. In terms of offsite and modular systems, the CPD walks participants through the process, starting at early design stage, through to construction, modular manufacture and, to for life of the building.

‘Form Follows Function - How to Design for Offsite Construction’ is the title of our new CPD presentation that looks to provide these essential insights.

It has been certified by the CPD Certification Service, the world's leading and largest independent CPD accreditation organisation working across all industry sectors. Our CPD presentation is designed to support industry professionals on what offsite construction can do to help them meet their building performance targets, while still utilising Modern Methods to build safe, efficient and striking structures.

The CPD format uses a Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA) overlay to the conventional Plan of Work to highlight the differences between Offsite and Traditional Construction and the benefits that they create. Early engagement, collaborative working, clear accountability and strong project management are consistent themes of our Offsite approach.???

The CPD is supported with detailed case studies from leading architects. These illustrate where Offsite Construction has been used successfully, whilst a Q&A section tackles the questions commonly asked such as fire safety and planning – all selected to share knowledge.

In addition, the CPD covers the features and sustainability benefits of offsite construction – a key requirement with a growing number of architects and specifiers - before finishing with practical guidance on design considerations and how building performance can be optimised further.

By the end of the CPD presentation, which we are delivering through online sessions, specifiers will have a greater understanding of the 7 types of modular construction. They will also gain a technical and practical understanding of the benefits of offsite and modular construction as a whole and feel confident about specifying largescale projects using this technique.

Sustainability is embedded in our approach and is fundamental to everything we do as a company. This vision is based on the principle that the brand must do social and environmental good.

Making offsite count and debunking myths!

We have developed our new CPD specifically for architects and specifiers looking to help their clients access the benefits of modular and offsite construction – Economic, Environmental, Social and Governance.?It offers a better understanding of the ?benefits of specifying offsite to meet with the most up to date building performance requirements.

We encourage specifiers to take up the opportunity offered by our seminars. They are a great place to ask expert advice for any on-going or future project. As a leading manufacturer our team know their product inside out! We’re keen to help industry colleagues learn more about Offsite solutions - and explode the odd myth along the way. Our CPD will ensure confidence when specifying offsite construction!

‘Form Follows Function – How to Design for Offsite Construction’ is available as a webinar or face to face seminar.?The CPD online learning module can be previewed and visitors can register interest on the CPD Certification Service website: https://cpduk.co.uk/providers/algeco-uk
