11:10 AM Panel Discussion: A Cost-Benefit Analysis on Student Accommodation: The Question of Quality, Cost and Convenience
Modular construction has become a well-known choice for university campuses worldwide. With modular buildings constructed off-site, they see 60-90% of construction complete within a factory. This mitigates weather delays, clean-up time and construction set-up. Because of this, most schools of thought find it convenient for companies needing to build large structures in a time sensitive environment.
Listen to this expert panel as they discuss their experiences with modular and prefabricated structures, with a cost-benefit analysis on ways your business can save time and money through this construction process.

Tim Crawshaw, Practice Director at BVN, will present a case study on the work him and his team performed at ANU’s Union Court campus.
