With off-site construction gaining traction as a viable alternative to tackle some of the problems that the construction industry currently faces, such as affordability and increasing demand, we partnered with Fleetwood Australia and the University of Melbourne to explore the automation of the design for construction pipelines. The aim of this project is to leverage existing technologies, like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and computational design tools, along with state of the art machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, to digitalise and optimise design and estimating workflows, increasing accuracy and efficiency in the production of documentation for tender and fabrication.
