Timber makes the panel.The studs tend to be the same
length but horizontal plates vary.For this reason there are quite a
few untreated timber off cuts produced at this stage.

Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureThe APS semi closed timber frame
systemrequires an average 27% fewer man
hoursduring construction than the brick andblock example.
This is because most of thesuperstructure construction for APS is

APS compared with traditionalThe proportion of non added
value time on APS is 9%Which is lower than the average
proportion of 12.5% recorded on numerous sites by BRE using CaliBRE.
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureThis highlights that the APS
system has been used efficiently on Jocelyn Park.
On the SmartLIFE site using the brick and block system, the efficiency was affected by design changes requiring remedial work.
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureThe challenges of urban construction
Construction on confined urban sitesPresents
developers with various challengesincluding:
the lack of working and storage space
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufacturethe need to minimise the impact of all aspects of the construction work on the local residents the shortage of skilled labour for site construction.
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureRecent experience with modern methods of construction has demonstrated that these challenges can be met by replacing a high proportion of site-intensive activities with off-site manufactured components.
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureFor example, two dimensional panels and three dimensional modules are delivered on a ‘just-in-time’ basis to suit local conditions and require no storage space on site.
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureOff-site construction is significantly
faster than traditional construction. This was an important factor in the
construction of three schools in Crawley.
These schools had to be built to a tight timescale to enable them to open in time for the new school term.
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureThis meant slashing the
programme from 76 to 54 weeks.This represents a reduction in the
total construction period of 29%, which agrees well with a time saving of 25% .
Benefits of off site Benefits of off site manufacturemanufactureThe decision to include glazed
windows in the prefabricated wall panels was central to this achievement, as it permitted the speedy creation of a weathertight building envelope, thereby allowing other trades to work inside the building.
