- Description
- Many construction industry decision-makers believe there is a lack of off-site manufacture (OSM) adoption in Australia. Identification of construction business process to assist decision-makers to increase OSM adoption is a proposed solution. The premise that domain knowledge can be re-used to provide an intervention point in the construction process led a team of researchers to develop base-line process models for a generic construction project. Sixteen domain experts in the Australian construction industry were asked to review the base-line process model related to Arranging the Project Team by answering the question “Where in the process illustrated by this base-line model has OSM implications?”. Through an iterative and generative process a number of off-site manufacture intervention points were identified and integrated into the base-line process models. The re-use of industry expert domain knowledge provided suggestions for improvement to current practice. It is expected that implementation of the new processes will lead to systemic industry change and thus increases adoption of OSM.
