2018年4月，建造业议会与发展局合办了 「组装合成」建筑法国际研讨会. ，邀请美国、英国、澳洲、新加坡、中国内地及本地的专家分享世界各地采用「组装合成」的成功例子、发展机遇及挑战，让业界能够清楚了解行业的最新发展趋势。

建造业正面临不少挑战，如高昂成本、缺乏熟练技工及生产力下降等。广泛使用创新建筑方法及科技能有效解决以上问题。而「组装合成」建筑法则能够为提升建造业生产力及成本效益提供及时的解决方法。

「组装合成」建筑法国际研讨会有助提高业界对世界各地采用「组装合成」建筑法的趋势之认识，并为本地和海外学者、专业人士及业界代表提供一个平台，分享技术的最新发展、知识及经验。

Our Mission // As the Voice of Commercial Modular Construction , MBI expands the use of offsite construction through innovative construction practices, outreach and education to the construction community and customers, and recognition of high-quality modular designs and facilities.

MBI s 5 in 5 Initiative 

Goal is to grow the commercial modular market share to 5% of new construction starts in North America in the next 5 years in key modular markets. 

Currently about 3%. 

Key markets include: Education Healthcare Office/Administrative Multi family/Commercial housing Commercial/retail Institutional/Industrial

目标是在未来5年内将北美主要模块化市场的商业模块化市场份额提高到5%。

目前约为3%。

主要市场包括:教育、医疗保健办公室、行政多户、商业住宅、商业/零售机构/工业

Challenges in North America

北美的挑战

 North American modular industry is still largely fragmented with over 200 modular (and no dominant) manufacturers. 

 Manufacturers build for multiple markets in multiple geographies and climates. 

 No standardized “processes” – each factory does it there way. 

 No standard prototypes or floor plans – each project is custom designed.

 All construction codes and contracts written for in-situ/on-site built environment. Modular must meet the site-built code. 

 U.S. Government not addressing /recognizing construction industry challenges. 

 Biggest challenge is perception of modular! Many people hear “modular” and think this:

北美模块化行业仍然非常分散，有超过200家(没有占主导地位的)模块化制造商。
制造商在不同的地理和气候条件下为不同的市场建造产品。
没有标准化的“流程”——每个工厂都是这样做的。
没有标准的原型或平面图-每个项目都是定制设计。
所有现场/现场建造环境的施工规范和合同。模块化必须符合网站构建的代码。
美国政府没有解决/认识到建筑业的挑战。
最大的挑战是感知

Opportunities

 MBI is working with various groups to remove barriers and promote growth including:  International Code Council – developing guidelines and code language specific to modular industry. 

 Working with administrative agencies to standardize and streamline the approval process for modular. 

 American Institute of Architects (AIA) – developing a design guideline for architects considering modular. 

 Working with traditional general contractors to educate them about scheduling, insurance, transportation, and legal considerations. 

 International case studies and best practices – knowledge exchanges within the industry.

MBI正在与各种团体合作，消除障碍，促进增长，包括国际代码理事会-制定指导方针和代码语言模块化行业。
与行政机构合作，标准化和简化模块化的审批流程。
美国建筑师协会(AIA) -为考虑模块化的建筑师开发设计指南。
与传统的总承包商合作，教育他们有关调度、保险、运输和法律考虑。
国际案例研究和最佳实践

Opportunities to Share Best Practices

 MBI recently launched its “European Advisory Council” to better engage its membership in that part of the world. 

 Currently about a dozen members with plans to meet in September in Munich, Germany. 

 Networking, idea and knowledge exchange, leadership opportunities within MBI. 

 MBI’s Awards of Distinction Contest & Project Database

MBI最近成立了“欧洲咨询委员会”，以更好地与该地区的成员进行接触。
目前大约有十几个成员计划9月份在德国慕尼黑开会。
网络，思想和知识交流，在MBI内部的领导机会。
MBI优秀奖及项目数据库
