Prefab, modular, manufactured, off-site construction – it’s coming. Prefab has always had that sensible optimism around it: building in a covered, controlled, repetitive manner must lead to better safety, quality and speed. The complications, though, of financing, insurance, procurement, consenting and logistics, have often upended that optimism and mired Prefab in red tape, but things are changing.

We are here supporting the innovators bringing change to the industry. Making Prefab work is complicated enough without also needing to become an expert in fire or structural engineering. We will bring our technical support in bracing, noise control and fire to your designs and processes to make your designs efficient, robust and code compliant. Already we have worked with Prefab manufacturers, large and small, on developing and testing details and systems to work with the unique requirements of Prefab construction. We look forward to working with you too.

If you are a manufacturer in the Prefab space, get in touch and allow us to share our extensive technical support for prefabricated construction. Email clara.sumner@gib.co.nz or call the GIB® Helpline on 0800 100 442
