inevitable pleading from some special interest groups .
CG : What do you think is the future of offsite construction ? Can it ever challenge traditional methods for supremacy and what are your personal goals as an organisation ?
RO : Buildoffsite ’ s modus operandi is not to challenge the traditional industry but rather to support knowledge transfer activities that serve to educate , inform and yes , to inspire the offsite industry to become more and more competitive and clients to become ever more demanding .
Given client pull and manufacturer push and with positive and selfinterested support from architects , designers and other professionals there is an inevitability that offsite will continue to grow to the point where it becomes business as usual .
I would dearly wish the traditional industry to respond – to show that it can be so much more productive , to deliver defect free construction , not to waste approximately 10 percent of all materials and never to have accidents .
However , that is just not going to happen . So quietly and with growing confidence , Buildoffsite will get on with our job and we will leave the traditional industry to get on with theirs .
