The new guide serves as a call to action to transform the way the construction industry assesses project performance - opening the door to evidence-based comparisons and data driven decisions to establish best-practice in the industry.

Background
At present there is no industry standard methodology for assessing the benefits of off-site techniques against traditional construction practices. Most assessments are made through the client’s tender process on a case by case basis. This report proposes a methodology to enable easy comparison between construction approaches, making it possible to keep consistent records across projects and identify all the possible benefits available.
