Where ALMCOR's vision, mission and purpose come to life: the transformation of a complex brownfield site, an echo of Britain's industrial past, into the beacon of modern logistics and warehousing infrastructure that is Horizon 29.

I am not sure about the headline — but yes, we need to continue investing in and developing our offsite manufacturing capabilities in Queensland, at scale. The commitment of 600 volumetric modular homes by the end of this year is a good start, but we really need that commitment to be in the thousands. Industry is telling us “it’s all about volume and through put.” We won't be able to achieve our target of one million homes solely through traditional construction. Therefore, the quicker governments can transition to scaling up through modern and smarter building methods, the better. 🗳️🏠 Our State Election Platform is calling for rapidly expanding the State’s MMC modular housing program, in partnership with industry; and, aiding the building and construction industry in its transition to a future industrialised manufacturing. For a bit more on this. Check our op-ed in today's The Courier-Mail from Q Shelter and Master Builders Queensland.

Construction of the First Building at Bradfield City Centre, home to Stage 1 of the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF), is now complete. This landmark development is set to catalyse growth in Western Sydney, positioning the region as a hub for advanced manufacturing. #bradfield #westernsydney #manufacturingfacility #sydneyconstruction https://lnkd.in/gY-qTtyU

State and territory building ministers met recently to discuss a range of topics including the shift towards achieving net zero, NCC 2025, and pre-fabricated housing. The discussion about pre-fabrication is particularly noteworthy, especially since it coincides with the Prime Minister's recent announcement regarding advanced manufacturing in Australia. 🏗️ 🏠 https://lnkd.in/gj3JaNEV Property Council of Australia chief, Mike Zorbas pointed out that industrialised construction is an excellent opportunity for Australia, but requires scalability. He emphasised the need for innovation, investment, and secure demand pipelines, especially during a time of increased construction, land, and capital costs. We agree. There are already many early adopters in #MMC here in Australia, but to capitalise on this opportunity at scale, we need greater support for industry now. This requires further government subsidy, support, and investment, just like any other innovation curve. It also requires further demonstration and pilot projects at key sites across the state and the country to prove what's possible, both in terms of volumetric and prefabricated components. This can be achieved either through direct investment, subsidies and incentives in design and procurement, or a combination. 🏡 What are the benefits right now? Speed. Not cost. 🏠 🏡 What are the benefits long term? Speed, cost, diversity of workforce, security over delivery timeframes. Just to name a few. It’s certainly an exciting space, and if we end up at the forefront of it, presents a significant opportunity to tackle future housing supply challenges. At the very least, it will enhance the supply chain resilience and responsiveness. Something we have witnessed the fragility of since covid. Footnote for those who often ask what is MMC: Modern methods of construction is a process which focuses on off-site construction techniques, such as mass production and factory assembly, as alternatives to traditional onsite building. #building #construction #offsite #modern #methods #housingsupply #residential #development #future #focussed #advanced #manufacturing Q Shelter Master Builders Queensland Building 4.0 CRC Property Council of Australia Queensland

It was an honour to welcome Roz McCall MSP and Councillor Thomas Heald to our Throsk manufacturing site. Their visit highlighted how we are supporting the UK Government's ambitious target of delivering 1.5 million new homes over the next five years. 🏠 Managing Director, David Crawford, toured our guests around the facility, showcasing how our advanced offsite timber frame solutions are driving faster, more sustainable construction while aligning with government priorities like Modern Methods of Construction and the Timber in Construction Roadmap. Roz McCall MSP commented, "Timber frame is clearly a major solution in helping us meet our housing targets while aligning with sustainability goals."

There are a multitude of challenges impacting Australia’s housing crisis. Demographic shifts, skills shortages, and competing infrastructure demands are collectively impeding our ability to increase housing stock. Shifting to a manufacturing-style approach would address several systemic issues simultaneously. #mmc #dfma #modularconstruction #modularbuilding #housing #building #construction #prefabrication #prefab #prefabricated #offsite #offsiteconstruction #offsitemanufacturing #mmc #modernmethodsofconstruction #affordablehousing https://lnkd.in/gDxcfdqd
