Modern Methods, Smarter Building: BIM and Offsite Construction

A CPD event with Boutique Modern and Brighton University on offsite construction, BIM, and constructing 21st Century Britain.

The CIOB, in collaboration with the University of Brighton, is hosting a CPD event on the use of BIM in offsite construction and its role in shaping the future of the UK’s infrastructure. This dynamic event will feature a thought-provoking interview between CIOB Wessex & Channel Islands Hub Chair, Gary O’Brien, and a team from Boutique Modern, examining how BIM and offsite construction are driving innovation in construction and urban development, and exploring how these technologies are vital to building 21st-century Britain.

Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of:

1. The Role of BIM in Modern Construction: How BIM supports the design, planning, and execution of offsite construction projects to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and promote sustainability.
2. Offsite Construction Techniques: The advantages and challenges of offsite construction, focusing on the benefits of prefabrication and modular design in meeting the UK’s housing and infrastructure demands.
3. Shaping 21st-Century Britain: How BIM and offsite construction align with the UK’s goals for sustainable development, addressing housing shortages, urbanization, and climate change.
4. Industry Collaboration: Insights into how organisations like Boutique Modern are leveraging BIM in collaboration with traditional construction practices to create high-quality, sustainable built environments.
5. The Future of Construction: How emerging digital technologies and offsite construction are transforming the UK’s approach to infrastructure, and the skills needed for the future workforce.

CIOB Members: Gain 3 CIOB CPD points when you reflect on the ethical aspects of your learning from this activity.
