Offsite Construction Materials Overview
Materials sit at the core of offsite construction, shaping both what can be produced in a factory and how efficiently those components can be delivered to the field. The types of materials most commonly used in offsite workflows influence manufacturing methods, transportability, and installation speed, while certain building components naturally lend themselves to standardized, repeatable production.
