Join Australia’s prefab community today
PrefabAUS brings together and advocates for the Australian smart building community.
Prefab stands for prefabrication and is also known as offsite construction, prefabricated construction, offsite manufacturing, modern methods of construction (MMC) and most recently, smart building.
Smart building encompasses everything from fully-complete (modular) buildings through to parts such as wall frames, roof trusses, insulated wall panels, building services pods (bathroom), 3D printing and modular construction.
PrefabAUS is inclusive of all approaches and works to advocate for and promote the entire industry.
prefabAUS strives to:
Ensure prefabrication is considered at the time of conceptual development and project planning, especially by state and federal governments for large-scale developments.
Have prefab considerations included in construction codes, standards writing and planning laws.
Give our members access to knowledge growth and the latest industry developments, being technical, market or other.
