Monash Project

Monash University – Team 2

Submission Extract: This project is an affordable, prefabricated housing solution for the Australian Market. Using design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA), off-site construction and plug and play, this concept uniquely develops an affordable housing solution that can be cost-effectively relocated with minimal cost and stress. The design employs a volumetric construction system. The dwellings are made up of a series of prefabricated modules constructed off site in a factory and delivered to site 85% completed. These modules are designed so they can be taken apart and rearranged in multiple configurations depending on the site.
