Revision control has always been one of the bigger challenges with drawings on a construction site. Everyone in the field always seems to be using a different version of the paper blueprints. This is one of those challenges that disappears when you ditch those paper blueprints and go digital. The latest version of the digital drawing is always on top, and when you use an app that puts everyone on the job using the same shared set stored in the cloud, everyone is always on the same page.

Prefabrication has a very long history. For example, after the second world war Prime Minister Winston Churchill saw the method as key to solving the UK’s housing crisis – which led to the construction of 150,000 prefabricated houses by 1951. It was assumed that the structures would be temporary, with a lifespan of around 10 years. But many still survive 70 years later, thanks to the power of prefab.
