Off-Site Construction Planning Using Discrete Event Simulation

Journal of Architectural Engineering, 2012
AbstractOff-site construction has become an inseparable part of many construction projects and can increase the productivity and quality of construction projects. Off-site construction involves the application of a significant portion of the required operations to construction elements by off-site fabrication shops in a more controlled and equipped ...

Off-site construction

1997
In the construction of pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities, ‘off-site construction’ refers to that portion of the job which is first assembled and constructed at a shop and then transported to the actual job site. Historically, in process industries, this type of construction is referred to as modular construction.

Challenges of off-site construction: A critical review

2019
Off-site Construction (OSC) has been recognised as a promising construction method to tackle challenges of constructing structurally and functionally intricate contemporary buildings. Considering the current scale of OSC is not commensurate with traditional construction methods, to understand OSC-related opportunities and bottlenecks, a significant ...
