The UK government is eager to transform the construction industry as part of the broader Digital Built Britain agenda, recognising the significant opportunities for national growth and global market advantages in a digitally enabled construction sector. However, the adoption of digital technologies and modern methods of construction (MMC), such as offsite manufacturing (OSM), remains low.

This report aims to explore the current state of OSM in the UK construction industry, identify barriers, and outline key research needed to overcome these challenges, ultimately accelerating the widespread adoption of OSM to transform the industry.
