PANEL: Unleashing the Potential of Offsite Construction for Affordable Housing
As the demand for affordable housing continues to grow, offsite construction is gaining attention as a potential game‑changer for delivering homes more quickly, efficiently and sustainably. By shifting significant portions of the building process into controlled factory environments, this approach offers opportunities to improve quality, reduce waste and streamline delivery timelines. This panel brings together perspectives from across development, construction, manufacturing and policy to examine how offsite methods can help address housing shortages at scale. It will consider both the promise and the practical challenges, including cost structures, supply chain integration, regulatory frameworks and public perception, highlighting what is needed to unlock the full potential of offsite construction in delivering affordable housing.
