The Rise of Modular Construction and DfMA in AEC
Recent market trends indicate a promising future for modular construction and DfMA within the AEC sector. With labor and housing shortages driving the adoption of modular construction methods and a growing focus on decarbonization and sustainability optimization, the industry is moving towards modern construction methods and offsite fabrication.
Manufacton provides project management software designed for offsite construction and prefabrication. Their solution is used by general and specialty trade contractors and modular builders to manage and track offsite construction and modular fabrication. By integrating elements of manufacturing production and construction project management, the software helps contractors oversee the processes effectively.
In addition to providing significant growth opportunities, the acquisition of Manufacton creates technology synergies by improving market and customer access. It also strengthened ALLPLAN’s position in the US market, providing Manufacton a platform to expand its presence in Europe and Asia Pacific.
