Architects Datafile (ADF) – August 2019

F

rom ‘Rethinking Construction’

published in 1998 to the acclaimed

‘Modernise or Die’ report – the

need to improve the construction

industry has been well documented over

many years. The political landscape is

changing, spurred on by climate change,

the housing crisis and the urgent need to

increase productivity.

These compelling factors have resulted in

the launch of Offsite Expo, the brainchild

of leading industry experts who understand

the vital requirement for a dedicated event

that will act as a catalyst for change and

drive this growing momentum forward.

“Those who are challenging traditional

practices from across the globe will stand

alongside our home-grown talent to

demonstrate what can be achieved with a

progressive approach,” say the organisers.

“Construction is at a critical crossroads,

and it is clear that contractors need to

adapt to become more like the innovative

disruptors in other manufacturing sectors

such as aerospace and automotive.”

Offsite Expo brings together the sector’s

most influential organisations, individuals,

commentators and business leaders who

are instrumental in progressing the

industry. The event will play host to

inspiring UK and international offsite

manufacturers, component suppliers

and digital innovators showcasing a

broad spectrum of offsite systems and

smart technologies.

Experience – CPD accredited

Offsite Masterclasses

In an ever-changing world, the key to

success is adapting and embracing

emerging best practice principles. The

free CPD accredited Masterclasses

will be presented by the industry pioneers

who are making the headlines, such as

Waugh Thistleton Architects. These

Masterclasses will focus on key industry

innovations and provide a comprehensive

and balanced perspective on this rapidly

emerging sector.

The Masterclasses are split into offsite

and digital technologies categories – these

include Pre-cast Concrete, Digital

Construction, MEP & Pod, Light Gauge

The first ever Offsite Expo will bring together the sector’s most influential organisations,

individuals, commentators and business leaders who are driving the offsite agenda

forward, at Ricoh Arena, Coventry in September
