As we head towards 2020, prefabrication in New Zealand has moved beyond the ‘WHY prefab’ into ‘HOW to do prefab’.Pioneering innovation is core to kiwi culture. The construction sector is poised for transformative change by applying digital-led manufacturing approaches to traditional site-based practices. This PrefabNZ selection of offsite case studies demonstrates work from the early adopters of innovative construction methods - from residential to commercial projects, components to complete building typologies, and across a range of building materials. Thanks goes to Eleni Timotei for her work in this area, under the supervision of PrefabNZ Board Member Guy Marriage and PrefabNZ CEO Pamela Bell.
