ABC Perth Radio Interview

ByOffsite Team

Did you catch our interview on Perth radio ABC 720?

Last Friday morning, OFFSITE Executive Chairman, Norm Roberts, spoke with ABC Perth Mornings presenter Nadia Mitsopoulos about how Modern Methods of Construction can be used as a solution to the housing shortage across Australia.

Here are some key takeaways:

  • Government Support for Innovation: Exciting to see the Labor Government’s $50 million housing innovation program and additional pledges for modern construction methods. It’s a step in the right direction for faster, more affordable housing solutions.
  • OFFSITE’s Advanced Manufacturing: At OFFSITE, we’re leading with panelised timber-framed houses that cut build times drastically. Our new factory setup aims to produce 2,500 houses annually, setting a new standard for efficiency.
  • Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA): Crucial to our success is DfMA. It’s about designing homes that optimise manufacturing and assembly processes from the start. This approach ensures speed, cost-effectiveness, and high-quality builds.
  • Energy Efficiency and Affordability: OFFSITE homes are not only quick to build but also achieve top energy ratings and significant cost savings compared to traditional methods.
