The external structures are manufactured in controlled environments, allowing the quality of each module or component to be monitored. This makes it easier to plan ahead and adds much needed speed and precision to the construction process. The value proposition of off-site construction is strengthening day by day, as are the factors that drive its growth: labor shortages, adequate technology and government support. A rich and growing community of technology companies plays an indispensable auxiliary role in outdoor construction of the facilities.
In general, real estate developers and investors should benefit from the external revolution, especially because of shorter delivery times, lower costs and higher quality without having to make major changes to their current business model. BIM will help integrate external facilities into the planning and construction process, but not while incompatible standards persist and not until adoption rates increase. They will have an advantage over spectators and, perhaps, an irrefutable clue when off-site work reaches scale. Therefore, developers should immediately seek partnerships to ensure they have access to the best third-party manufacturers and maximize their appeal to customers, buyers, and investors.
If they want to remain manufacturers of specifications rather than taking them, they must work proactively to shape new external ecosystems, in partnership with other companies that have complementary expertise. Specifically, off-site construction will involve higher productivity, less on-site labor, and different materials and tools. There is no doubt that others will follow their example and, in doing so, will create stable demand, help to standardize designs, shape new regulations, and publicize the benefits of working off-premises. They argue that it is better to wait and see what happens when so many uncertainties persist and the external revolution has already failed so many times.
Offsite construction is now being adopted for projects as varied as high-end condominiums, hotels and airport terminals. Detailed changes are impossible to predict, but there are some rough guidelines for evaluating the evolution of off-premises installations in a particular market. While the trend of off-site construction is undoubtedly on the rise, it is difficult to determine the pace of its development. The first space of its kind will offer the industry the opportunity to change the supply chain, rationalize off-site construction, adopt new materials and digital technologies, and attract and train a new qualified workforce, while strengthening the St. First, in general, the external sector is likely to grow faster in regions that emphasize new buildings rather than renovations and that have key factors for market formation, such as a major developer or active government support.
On the contrary, Germany is leaning towards renovations, and the U.S. The U.S. lacks a major national promoter of off-site technology, whether private or public.
