Advanced Timber Manufacturing and Fabrication ENG730
Introduction
This unit describes prefabrication principles, fabrication basics, services integration strategies, site management strategies and BIM approaches in timber the fabrication sector. In this unit, you will design regular timber structures for constructibility and prefabrication and also coordinate and optimise timber projects manufacturing, fabrication and delivery using BIM and site management strategies.
It is highly recommended for students to have a background in BIM or to be enrolled concurrently in ENG726 when studying this unit.
