Design, Software and Robotics for Efficient Prefabricated Timber Buildings

Published: July 4, 2019, 9:15 a.m.

One of the advantages of timber, is it's ability to enable prefabrication for a building to simultaneously improve quality, price and program for a project. The design, logistics and manufacturing are all critical for efficient offsite construction to achieve these productivity gains. At the Frame Australia 2019 conference, I spoke with 3 world leading experts on this topic. In this episode you will first hear Nick Hewson the Design Manager for Xlam on DFMA and logistics, second is Karel Vinckier the founder of HSBCAD on the evolution of BIM, and finally you will hear from Ola Skoglund the COO of Randek on advancements in robotics.
