In this session we will be exploring three emerging areas: Code for Construction Product Information\, Digital Product Passports and Manufacturers Information Hub. \nAmanda Long from the Code for Construction Product Information will be sharing details on how it is raising standards in construction product information and marketing and drive positive culture change in the manufacturing and supply sector in relation to product information and marketing. \nAlex Small will share insight into insight into Digital Product Passports and how they relate in the UK. In 2024 the EU introduced new regulation requiring nearly all products sold in the EU to feature a Digital Product Passport (DPP). This initiative\, part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation\, aims to enhance transparency across product value chains by providing comprehensive information about each product’s origin\, materials\, environmental impact\, and disposal recommendations. The DPP is designed to close the gap between consumer demands for transparency and the current lack of reliable product data.  The Manufacturers Information Hub is a single\, global\, access point for all construction product manufacturers’ information. The project\, which is a collaboration between sixteen of Europe’s largest construction product manufacturers\, will significantly reduce the complexity of obtaining Digital Product Passports (DPPs)\, EPD/LCA data\, reuse data\, handover documents and data.’ Attend the session to find out how the project will help your business? \nJoin us for this session\, on Friday 7th February. \nThis event provides Constructing Excellence National members with CPD in partnership with BRE Academy. \n  URL:https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/event/offsite-manufacturing-technology-february/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Events,Offsite ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/SMALL-offsite-INDIGO.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241111T120000 DTSTAMP:20260416T173321 CREATED:20241014T110217Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241016T141705Z UID:24224-1731321000-1731326400@constructingexcellence.org.uk SUMMARY:Offsite Manufacturing & Technology Group- Building Safety Act DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Offsite Manufacturing & Technology session\, on Monday 11th November\, which will focus on the Building Safety Act. \nJoin us for the next session\, on Monday 11th November\, which will focus on the Building Safety Act\, with input from Phil Henry\, Genuit Group\, Jim Cowell\, Algeco\, and Andrew Crooks\, Stroma Building Control. \nWe will be exploring how the Building Safety Act impacts modular/offsite manufacturers\, particularly roles such as principal designer\, contractor and more. \nWe will also discuss how the BSA will influence contractual changes\, stage 3 design checks and other changes and implications that may arise. \nThis event provides Constructing Excellence National members with CPD in partnership with BRE Academy.

There are increasing calls for government to embrace the principles of ‘industrialisation’ as a means to unlocking productivity in the construction sector. The proposed shift in narrative recognises that our long-held interest in the adoption of manufacturing processes and technologies as a means to higher productivity requires a fundamental change in our traditional project delivery model. \nWhere the traditional construction delivery model promotes constant reinvention in what we deliver and how we deliver it\, Industrialised Construction approaches are focused on driving standardisation\, repeatability and continuous improvement in systems\, processes and relationships across suitable programmes and portfolios of work. Through these approaches\, we can create the conditions for manufacturing supply chains to thrive\, and embrace more productive approaches to design\, logistics\, assembly and beyond. \nOn Thursday 25th April\, the CE Offsite Group will join Ron Lang\, Regional Director at AtkinsRealis\, in a debate on why we should shift our focus towards industrialisation if we are to create a modern industry that embraces technological development\, that attracts and retains the best talent and that efficiently delivers high quality outputs that meet the needs of society.\nWhy not come along and share your thoughts?
