The ManuBuild vision is of a future where customers will be able to purchase high quality, manufactured buildings having a high degree of design flexibility and at low cost compared to today. For the first time, inspirational unconstrained building design will be combined with highly efficient industrialised production.
|
|
ManuBuild targets a radical breakthrough from the current "craft and resource-based construction" to "Open Building Manufacturing", combining ultra-efficient (ambient) manufacturing in factories and on sites with an open system for products and components offering diversity of supply in the market.
|
|
|
Enabling business processes, ICT systems, new materials and technologies and smart components etc will underpin this.
|
|
Potential impacts include significant reductions in the number of construction industry accidents, waste and the costs and time to construct buildings. This will allow Europe to improve it’s building stock, whilst also releasing resources that can be allocated to other income generating industrial sectors.

|
ManuBuild - "Open Building Manufacturing", is an industry-led collaborative research project on Industrialised Construction, part-funded by the EU under Framework 6. Commencing in April 2005, it is a 4-year project involving 25 partners from 10 countries across Europe.
