In this show we debate the benefits of off-site construction, a type of construction being embraced by Lucas. Off-site construction or "modular" involves assembling complete buildings or parts of buildings in a factory environment. The modules are fully fitted with all electrics, plumbing, heating and internal finishes before they leave the factory. They are delivered to site where they can be placed into position ready for final connection. Modules can be connected side-by-side and end-to-end, as well as in multiple storeys, to create buildings of any size, shape or configuration. Off-site construction (like on-site construction) can be used for a variety of purposes including residential, educational, health care and commercial applications. Buildings can range from a few modular units to several hundred. They can be arranged in architectural configurations and can be many stories in height.Also on the show we chat about the AkzoNobel start-up challenge at which Danny Lucas was a judge.
