Building 4.0 CRC
Building 4.0 CRC is an industry-led research initiative co-funded by the Australian Government. The consortium carries out research and development activities that lead to tangible benefits for the building industry and the broader community. Working collaboratively, the CRC strives for innovative research outcomes that translate into commercial, technological and efficiency benefits for its industry partners, and improved environmental, safety and cost performance for the community. The CRC seeks to lead industry change and deliver a new building eco-system: leveraging the latest technologies; creating a data-driven industry; promoting human-centric design; and, encouraging new thinking and expert collaboration between our best-in-class partner organisations. Together, this will position Australia as a leader in the advanced manufacture of buildings, developing new industry-wide culture and the human capacity to lead the future industry. |

Master Builders Victoria By Pooling our expertise and advocacy from our collaborative relationship we were able to make strong representations to the government to remain open and productive and contribute during COVID when so many other industries were not permitted to do so. The CALD initiative was instrumental to this and has continued to lead the way for key messaging during the pandemic. prefabAUS and MBV are now working together with government on the proposed Quarantine facility in Victoria and welcome input from our members, please email damien.crough@prefabaus.org.au |
