Offsite 2007, to be held at BRE in Watford on June 11–14, will explore how modern construction and advanced technologies are coming together to deliver higher performing, more sustainable and smarter buildings.
Visitors will be able to view The Big Build: exhibitions, displays and demonstrations spread over the BRE site, including the full-scale off-site and MMC buildings on the BRE Innovation Park which are retained on the site for two years after the event for demonstration and training purposes.
The Offsite 2007 conference programme will have a particular focus on how this ‘coming together’ is benefiting housing, healthcare, education and the 2012 Olympics.
