Modular Matters - hear from the leaders in the field of volumetric modular construction techniques

One of the critical concerns for the construction industry is poor levels of productivity. When assessed against other industries, especially manufacturing led ones - the disparity is stark.

Volumetric modular construction has gained considerable momentum over the past 3-5 years in the UK due to its positive impact on cost, programme, quality and safety. The critical success factors for ‘modularisation’ have recently highlighted the need for engineering, procurement and construction project delivery systems to be developed to support optimal use of this technology.

New methodologies need to address the lack of knowledge about the manufacturing processes of volumetric modules, as well as considering a set of practical constraints and factors that affect module configuration such as, transportation and weight restraints together with onsite connection and crane limitations.

Valuable insights and intelligence can be gained from the Modular Matters conference and exhibition, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on 30 October 2018. The event will focus on the latest developments, innovations and investments in the volumetric modular sector and outline the continuing evolution of this dynamic offsite construction technology.

Modular Matters will demonstrate the application of volumetric modular technology across a range of vertical markets including; education, leisure, student accommodation, private residential, affordable housing and specialist applications. This one-day conference will create a platform for construction clients and their professional advisers to network with industry experts and discuss the latest advances in volumetric modular technology. The event format provides a dynamic and interactive learning experience for all visitors through presentations and the wide array of exhibitors.

Speakers include: Darren Richards, Rory Bergin, Michael Hough, Michael Swiszczowski RIBA, Michael Crane, Ben Drake, James Walsh, Patrick Hayes, Stuart Marshall, Nigel Banks, John Bedford, Ian Astley, Andy Smith, David Speight FICE MCIOB, Mark Hargreaves, Zoe Powell, Emily King, David Clark, Joanne Booth, Derek Thomson and Andy King

The future is a far cry from the dust and dirt of a traditional building site and looks more like something out of a futuristic movie where entire buildings are produced and delivered to site complete in a volumetric format – the ‘plug and play’ equivalent for the construction sector.
