Special theme
Examination of the key issues relating to progress on the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and digital technologies and innovation across Europe.

Modern Methods of Construction 
An examination of progress relating to innovation and the adoption of digital technology across Europe. As economies experience expansion and labour markets come under pressure, the increasing demand for buildings and infrastructure is focusing minds on increasing efficiency and faster building methods. Declining on-site construction productivity is shifting many construction activities away from the construction site towards the adoption of prefabrication and modularised techniques in factory settings. By pursuing a strategy towards digitally enhanced manufacturing and the adoption of technological solutions, the construction challenges around speed of delivery, quality, viability and productivity can be overcome. 

Key issues to be addressed at the conference will include:

  • How is the European construction industry transforming construction manufacturing processes? Which countries are leading the charge, and why?
  • What are the real benefits of industrialised construction and what indicators are being used to benchmark and track progress?
  • What are the implications for the construction supply chain and how does it respond?
  • What are the challenges faced by MMC developers and why is getting the financial model right for MMC manufacturing so important?
  • How do modern methods of construction and other solutions to boosting productivity enhance sustainability?
