ManuBuild at Futurebuild, London (3-5 March 2009)

01/12/2008

Futurebuild is the UK’s leading event dedicated to what is new in construction. Now in its fourth year, it takes place annually alongside Ecobuild at Earls Court, London and provides a unique showcase for the latest products destined for building structures, finishing and services. Together with Ecobuild, in 2009 it will attract in excess of 800 exhibitors and 30000 visitors.

manubuildwelcome001ManuBuild will host a stand at this event, where visitors will find physical displays, presentations and simulations covering the many outputs from the project. The exhibits will be provided by ManuBuild partners from Sweden, Spain, Poland, Finland, Germany and the UK.

Besides its exhibits ManuBuild will run a free seminar as part of the Futurebuild seminar programme.   This will  be  on  the  theme  of Innovation and Offsite.

Next ManuBuild meeting held in Labein -Tecnalia

01/12/2008

manubuildlogoLabein will host the next ManuBuild meeting on the 15th of December that will last for three days. Labein is one of the participants of the ManuBuild Project, an industry-led collaborative research project, partially funded by the EU, which involves 22 partners from eight different countries across Europe.

ManuBuild secured 10 million Euros of EU funding in 2005 for a four year research programme with a key focus on open building systems. It is the largest EU funding ever awarded to the industry and promised a step change from modern methods of construction towards an era of inspirational, unconstrained design with ultra-efficient manufacture and industrial-style construction.

ManuBuild targets a radical breakthrough from the current “craft and resource-based construction” to “Open Building Manufacturing”, combining ultra-efficient (ambient) manufacturing in factories and on sites with an open system for products and components offering diversity of supply in the market.  Enabling business processes, ICT systems, new materials and technologies and smart components will underpin this.

The potential impact of the ManuBuild Project includes significant reductions in the number of construction industry accidents, the amount of waste produced and the costs and time to construct buildings. This will allow Europe to improve its building stock, whilst also releasing resources that can be allocated to other income-generating industrial sectors.
