From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am reviewing the introductory article referring to off-site construction. It appears that the scope definition is too narrow or restrictive. OffSite fabrication refers to any part of the building that is built offsite. My reference is the detailed book written by Dr. Alistair Gibb from Loughborough University. "Off-Site Fabrication is a process that incorporates prefabrication and pre-assembly. The process involves the design and manufacture of units or modules, usually remote from the work site, and the installation at the site to form the permanent works at the site. In its fullest sense, off-site fabrication requires a project strategy that will change the orientation of the project process from construction to manufacture to installation." Examples of off-site fabrication are wall panels for homes, wooden truss, bridge span's, airport control stations are just a few examples of off-site construction. ````
