Which of the following best explains why offsite construction can be more sustainable than on-site construction?
It always uses recycled materials.
It reduces material waste through precise manufacturing.
It requires more energy for transportation.

Which of the following is a key challenge of offsite construction?
Difficulty in achieving consistent quality
Transportation of large components to the site
Increased on-site labour requirements
Greater exposure to weather
