New offsite production and business models in construction : priorities for the future research agenda (2014)
Journal Article
Goulding, J., Pour Rahimian, F., Arif, M., & Sharp, M. (2015). New offsite production and business models in construction : priorities for the future research agenda. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 11(3), 163-184. https://doi.org/10.1080/17452007.2014.891501

Despite the benefits offered by offsite construction, as a percentage, the offsite market is still relatively small. This phenomena is complex; but for brevity, includes a myriad of factors, not least: lack of awareness; supply chain challenges (capa...
