Precast and Modular Construction Methods

Precast and modular methods can speed up delivery and lift quality, but only when the design, logistics and site connections are properly managed. This course introduces South African project teams to precast concrete and modular building methods, from factory production through transport, lifting and jointing on site. The emphasis is on planning the interfaces that make or break offsite construction.
