Welcome to something new.

Issue 1 of Industrialised Construction Journal is a fresh online platform and dynamic entry point into the future of advanced detailing, offsite manufacturing and industrialised approaches to housing, healthcare and infrastructure.

This is a constantly developing journal that is about sparking new ways of thinking, building and collaborating.

From cutting-edge technologies to people-centric approaches, features will challenge traditional boundaries, spark imaginations and opens up fresh opportunities on approaching 21^st Century, Industry 4.0 construction.

This first issue features a diverse lineup of insights and innovations from some key voices operating with the industrialised construction sphere, including architects, engineers, consultants, digital solution providers and main contractors.

Together, these features launch a vibrant platform for thought leadership, showcasing the intersection of design, innovation, and industrial methodologies. Dive into this first issue and discover some trends, innovations, and thought leadership driving industrialised construction forward.

Join the conversation, explore the ideas, complete the polls and be part of shaping the sector’s future. Over the coming months you’ll find many changes in ICJ as it develops. A final thanks to everyone that has been involved with this launchpad edition. Watch this space.
