There are now a myriad of Australian and international projects demonstrating how the building industry can utilise offsite timber prefabrication to boost the quality and speed of construction. The next phase in the evolution of construction methodologies for building professionals is to learn from the manufacturing industry who have successfully applied Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) to understand and reduce product cost. Learn how these proven tools and techniques could drive significant profit increases if you include them as part of your project toolbox.
