Led by Skanska UK and supported by leading construction contractors and major UK-based companies, this feasability study will focus on testing the efficacy and impact of an inter and cross sector 'Offsite Innovators Network'' model to understand its ability to improve the flow of information, innovation, integration and collaboration in the offsite construction sector supply chain. The offsite construction supply chain is fragmented with design, manufacturing, logistics and onsite construction all vital to the process. The lack of collaboration between these sectors hampers both the sector's growth and it's ability to innovate. This study will test the feasibility and impact (economic, social and environmental) of identifying and developing an 'Offsite Innovators Network' drawn from the offsite sector to deliver, free of charge, supply chain knowledge transfer to companies both within their own sector and across the sectors that make up the offsite construction supply chain.

Action Sustainability helps the construction and built environment sector to hit its ambitious carbon reduction targets, through upskilling of craftsmen, construction workers and middle management. We propose to expand our activities into online training & teaching methods, so that we can reach a wider audience and offer our beneficiaries better flexibility. Successful delivery of this project will support deeper emission cuts in the built environment sector, contributing heavily to the UK's target overall.
