When: 19th March 2024, 18.00 - 19.30
Where: Zoom Webinar
Speaker: Evette Prout and David Emery

Up until recently, offsite build accounted for just 2% of the construction market, but the sector is rapidly expanding. Offsite construction is proven to embrace sustainability, cost-efficiency, adaptability, customisable designs, and reduce site disruption.

The talk will host 2 speakers who will shed light on the critical challenges faced by the 'traditional' construction industry and the benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), particularly Offsite Construction. There will be ample time for Q&A in this exciting new area.

For the CILT community, the development of offsite will create opportunities in transportation and logistics lean-based manufacturing, and operational excellence.

About the Speakers:

With a background in architectural technology, he boasts extensive experience as a BIM manager on pioneering 5D BIM projects in the UK and has contributed to numerous volumetric modular projects as a designer. Over the past two decades, he has presented at various workshops and industry events on BIM, DfMA, and offsite construction. His collaboration with the School over several years led to his full-time commitment to the team in 2021

Evette Prout works with Passivhaus specialist Beattie Passive, one of the UK’s leading offsite manufacturers of energy efficient, low carbon and net zero housing, which builds homes in its Norwich Housebuilding Factory. A certified Passivhaus consultant and a Chartered Institute of Housing Practitioner, Evette also has in-depth experience in the area of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and is dedicated to promoting sustainable design and building practices. Evette will be talking about the merits of MMC and explaining how the Beattie Passive system delivers MMC (and Passivhaus) to speed up construction, reduce site disruption and carbon emissions, whilst also raising building standards. She will particularly focus on how Beattie Passive harnesses its manufacturing supply-chain and logistics to deliver a high-quality product to clients quickly.
