Modern Methods of Construction and Innovative Materials

Modern Methods of Construction and Innovative Materials, 1st Edition, is an introductory textbook focused on off-site manufacturing processes and the decarbonisation of the built environment. The text introduces contemporary prefabrication technologies alongside industry initiatives to lower carbon emissions across the construction sector.

Coverage addresses off-site fabrication across multiple scales, ranging from complete buildings transported directly onto sites down to individual components for site integration. It also examines low-carbon material innovation, surveying sustainable improvements in traditional construction products and exploring emergent materials that will influence future building practices.

Designed for students and new practitioners across architecture, construction management, surveying, and engineering, the volume incorporates contemporary case studies to clarify complex industrial methods.
