Slides 9. Unmit 106. Off-site construction 2

What are sub-assemblies in off-site construction?

• Fully finished modular buildings

• Independent parts of a building that do not require on-site assembly

• A combination of components manufactured off-site that require skilled assembly

• A type of on-site construction method

Which of the following is NOT an example of a sub-assembly in off-site construction?

• I-joists

• Roof systems

• Fasteners and fixings

• Windows

What is a key characteristic of components in off-site construction?

• They are always large, pre-assembled units

• They are usually sourced from multiple suppliers

• They are independent units that are self-contained

• They require on-site curing before use

Which of the following is an example of a panelised system?

• SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels)

• Curtain walling

• Volumetric units

• Bathroom pods

How does a closed panel system differ from an open panel system?

• Closed panels have insulation and sheeting on both sides

• Open panels are fully finished with insulation and plumbing

What are volumetric units in off-site construction?

• Two-dimensional panels used for structural support

• Three-dimensional units that enclose usable space

• A type of hybrid construction combining steel and timber

• Panels that only provide external cladding

Which of the following is an example of a volumetric unit?

• Staircases

• Windows and doors

• Bathroom pods

• SIP panels

What does MEP stand for in construction?

• Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing

• Modular, Environmental, and Prefabrication

• Material, Engineering, and Planning

• Manufacturing, Efficiency, and Process

What is the purpose of external finishes in volumetric units?

• To ensure the structural integrity of the unit

• To improve insulation and aesthetics

• To eliminate the need for internal finishing

• To make the unit more difficult to transport

10. What is a hybrid system in off-site construction?

• A combination of on-site and off-site construction methods

• A system that uses only on-site construction methods

• A system that uses only off-site construction methods

• A system that does not involve any construction methods
