Optimising offsite manufactured components in the UK house-building sector

Description	There is an emerging consensus that the United Kingdom (UK) is presently facing a housing crisis, the root cause of which is predominantly down to the lack of provision of affordable housing (Helm, 2017; Ferrari, 2015). Calls for a change in approach, to the way the government meets the housing needs of its citizens, have seldom been more audible (Harris, 2018). One potential solution proffered due to its perceived success in other countries as a solution to their own housing crises and also due the significant role it had in the UK after World War II (Vale, 2013), is the construction of pre-fabricated homes using offsite manufactured components (Miles and Whitehouse, 2013). There is therefore a perceived need to adopt innovative and new construction practices to accelerate the rate of construction.
