As modular construction becomes an increasingly established method of delivering permanent buildings, understanding how to design effectively for offsite manufacture is becoming increasingly valuable for architects and specifiers.

Wernick’s Exploring the Benefits of Modular Construction CPD provides practical insight into the design principles, technical considerations and project delivery processes associated with modern modular construction.

The presentation explores both the opportunities and challenges of modular construction, supported by real project examples across multiple sectors.

What will you learn?

• Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA): Understand how early design decisions influence manufacturing efficiency and building delivery.
• Design coordination: Explore standardisation, module interfaces and the importance of early collaboration.
• Procurement and programme: Understand procurement approaches and how modular construction can support programme certainty.
• Regulatory considerations: Explore Building Regulations, fire and life safety, and CDM responsibilities.
• Sustainability: Consider the environmental opportunities associated with factory-controlled manufacture.
• Project applications: Learn from completed modular building projects across education, healthcare and other sectors.
