What you will learn

Gain contemporary skills and knowledge.

The ability to plan, design, and manufacture buildings off-site helps drive sustainability and significantly reduces project costs.

Prefab and modular construction enables building design professionals to design cost-effective, energy-efficient, and quick to build structures.

Ideal for structural designers who want practical experience using the latest technologies to design prefabricated and modular buildings. Civil engineers, production managers, construction and engineering students, and field inspectors will also find value in this course.

Delivered online over six weeks, this program supports self-learning activities facilitated by lecture videos and interactive webinars. This course also counts for 12 CPD (continuing professional development) hours for Engineers Australia Members. Learning is mapped to Australian standards for structural design requirements.

Please note, you will not need to purchase additional software to participate in this course. Access to all essential materials will be provided.

Develop fundamental knowledge of structural design for prefab 

Be introduced to the principles of prefab and modular building construction and its structural design. With the aid of industry-recognised software, you will analyse practical case studies to enhance your understanding of crucial concepts, including conceptual design, hinge assembly DfMA design, and integrated design of timber and steel prefab structural systems.
