Enbu806 Offsite Construction|Construction Method Assessment Answer

Thisassignment is desired to provide you knowledgeof the application, implementation and technicalities involved in off-site construction methods or systems used globally. The information you require for this assignment can be obtained online, direct access to project information, the Project Manager and anyother sources.Task 1: Case study backgroundYouare required to select a case study project (located anywhere around the world) whether residential, commercialor industrial, where an off-site construction system has been used. The building projectcould involve nonvolumetric, volumetricor modular construction method. You are to report on the type of the building, size, location, client and key parties involved on the project (confidentiality should be respected at all times). General information regarding the building application and its final use should also be included. Task 2: Offsite construction method For your selected building project, you are to describe the type of off-site construction method, structural elements, and major parts and sections such as panels and building facades on your project. These may include columns, beams, floor slabs, joists, girders, footings, foundations, cladding, etc. Also describe the structural frames in terms of thematerialsused.Use appropriate citations to support your descriptions.Task 3: Rationale for offsite useIn this task you areto explain the reasons (at least five) why the particular offsite construction method was used on your selected case study project. You will need to support the reasonswith appropriate citations (refer to published resources).Task 4: Challenges of offsite construction This task requires you to evaluatethe challenges associated with the use of offsite construction onyour selected case study project. The challenges you have evaluated on your selectedproject would need to be supported with appropriate citations.

Task 5: Case for offsite implementationFor this task you are to assume that you have met a potential client who has acquired a property along the Auckland-Orewa motorway, New Zealand. That client would like to build a holiday resort(5 three storey buildings)with similar structural materials and components as your case studyproject, however shewas considering more traditional approaches to its construction. You are to collate information on the benefits of using offsite construction on your case study(task 1 to 4). Use this information to criticallyexplain the benefits that yourpotential client could derive from the use of offsite constructionfor her holiday resort project(supported with appropriate citations)
