What is Offsite for Everyone and how did it come about?
For us to meet the targets set out in the Government’s Construction Playbook, we need a shift in behaviour and a shift to further offsite methods of construction.
Organisations and individuals should look to introduce these methods within their own business or job role.
In partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and National Open Colleges Network (NOCN), and with funding from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), the School developed learning materials aimed at six different job roles:
- Designers and Architects
- Procurement Personnel
- Quantity Surveyors and Cost Consultants
- Logistics Personnel
- Project Managers
- Site Managers

The offsite construction process is illustrated in the construction industrialisation wheel. Five key competencies need to be understood if we are to embrace an industrialised approach; design for manufacture & assembly (DfMA), offsite manufacture, logistics and onsite assembly, followed by best-in-class maintenance. These five building blocks are underpinned by eight management skills that are, in our opinion, necessary to drive change.
