Off-site Construction ppt 9

What are sub-assemblies in off-site construction typically composed of?

• I-joists, steel elements, roof systems, floor systems, stairs, doors, windows

• Plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, concrete blocks, paint

• Bricks, mortar, scaffolding, insulation material

• Furniture, appliances, interior decorations, curtains

Sub-assemblies in off-site construction are manufactured off-site and may form what types of systems?

• Panelised or volumetric systems

• Hydraulic or pneumatic systems

• Electrical or electronic systems

• Heating or cooling systems

What is required for the assembly of sub-assemblies as part of the construction programme?

• Delivery, storage, and skilled assembly

• Immediate installation upon delivery

• No storage or skilled labor required

• Only robotic assembly

What are components in off-site construction?

• Tools used for on-site construction

• Constituent parts of a building made as independent units from one supplier

• Machines used for lifting heavy materials

• Software used for construction management

Which of the following is NOT a use for the term 'components' in off-site construction?

• Fasteners and fixings

• Metal, meshwork and seals

• Electrical wiring systems

• Cladding

What is the purpose of breather membranes in off-site construction components?

• To provide structural support

• To act as a moisture barrier

• To insulate electrical components

• To enhance aesthetic appeal

Which of the following is considered a component in off-site construction?

• Paints and coatings

• Curtain walling panels

• Scaffolding

• Construction vehicles

What is an open system in off-site construction panelised systems?

• Insulated, sheeting on both sides and a service zone.

• Made with structural elements only, non-insulated, occasionally one side is sheeted.

• Variation of closed panels; solid insulation 'sandwiched' with two layers of oriented strand board (OSB).

• A system that uses glass panels exclusively.

What characterizes a closed system in off-site construction panelised systems?

• Made with structural elements only, non-insulated, occasionally one side is sheeted.

• Insulated, sheeting on both sides and a service zone.

• Variation of closed panels; solid insulation 'sandwiched' with two layers of oriented strand board (OSB).

• A system that uses transparent insulation materials.

What are SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) in the context of off-site construction panelised systems?

• Made with structural elements only, non-insulated, occasionally one side is sheeted.

• Insulated, sheeting on both sides and a service zone.

• Variation of closed panels; solid insulation 'sandwiched' with two layers of oriented strand board (OSB).

• Panels that are used for the construction of windows only.
