Digitalization and ever-advancing project modelling software have been aiding traditional manufacturers, builders, and designers for years<\/h2>\n

More recently, tech-savvy modular and offsite construction stakeholders have also embraced these tools, adding their own knowledge and data to create newer, faster, more efficient ways of building. Together with new BIM- and AI-powered tools, these builders are now pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible with offsite construction and energy management.<\/p>\n

In an effort to expand that knowledge across the industry, the Modular Building Institute<\/a> (MBI), the world\u2019s largest international trade association for the commercial modular construction industry<\/a>, is bringing one of its premier events to Madrid in early October.<\/p>\n

The latest education at World of Modular Europe<\/h3>\n

World of Modular Europe 2025<\/a> (WOM Europe), an international conference hosted by MBI on 6-8 October, will feature speakers, exhibitors, and attendees from across Europe and around the globe. In addition to manufacturers and designers, World of Modular Europe will feature some of the leading voices in the use of BIM and AI in offsite construction. The three-day conference will offer key insights, best practices, and the opportunity to meet leaders and stakeholders from every corner of the European industry.<\/p>\n

The growing influence of BIM on offsite construction workflows<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe see that BIM adoption levels differ greatly from market to market and from company to company,\u201d says Joonas Mauer, VP of Sales at build.works technologies O\u00dc and speaker at WOM Europe. \u201cThe toolset available for BIM design and collaboration has been developing at a rapid pace, improving the overall quality of models both detail and information content wise. Both advanced adopters and beginners have a greater understanding of the value BIM adds to the workflows and are either working or planning their development in this direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cData-centric thinking is the real key,\u201d adds Mauer. \u201cBe the company small or large \u2013 it is especially relevant for manufacturing-oriented construction methods as the processes are better defined and easily controllable. When implemented systematically to support both product development and customization, BIM becomes an ideal tool for the offsite construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI is improving energy management for modular builders<\/h3>\n

With the growing importance of digital building tools, there\u2019s another element of construction projects that\u2019s becoming increasingly important to developers and end users alike: energy management and conservation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the defining features of modular and portable buildings is how quickly they can be deployed, reconfigured, or relocated,\u201d says Nic Shulman, CEO at Aireavu, another presenter at WOM Europe. \u201cThat flexibility is a strength, but it creates a real challenge for traditional energy management approaches, which are usually built for fixed, more stable environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a building\u2019s use shifts suddenly – say from a classroom to an office, or from a healthcare unit to a site cabin – traditional methods often can\u2019t keep up, resulting in wasted energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a challenge Aireavu has been tackling in real, operational portable buildings. Through that work, Aireavu has been developed to meet the issue head-on – creating a solution that embraces the nature of modular buildings and can adapt to rapid changes, ensuring operational efficiency isn\u2019t compromised when buildings are on the move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside a BIM-driven workflow<\/h3>\n

\u201cAdoption of BIM design tools has become the industry standard,\u201d says Mauer, \u201cand those who have yet to implement them are seriously considering or already moving in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For build.works, designing an optimum workflow requires a holistic view.<\/p>\n

\u201cA BIM-driven workflow in an offsite project using build.works typically starts with importing the project BIM model (or connecting it from our partner CDE \u2013 Autodesk Construction Cloud), enriching it with company-specific data and generating a structured bill of materials (BOM),\u201d says Mauer. \u201cThis feeds directly into budgeting, scheduling, and procurement, ensuring every resource is planned with precision, and continuously keeping a link to the BIM model. On the shop floor, tasks are created with direct links to model elements, so production teams always work with the latest specifications.<\/p>\n

“Quality checks and progress tracking are also integrated with the same information, keeping all stakeholders aligned from sales through to delivery – without duplicating data or losing information between stages. Seamless integrations are set up between build.works and company ERP and other business management systems to continue the uninterrupted workflow.<\/p>\n

An example of offsite energy efficiency<\/h3>\n

With Aireavu\u2019s recent research collaboration with UK-headquartered Portakabin, \u201cwe set out to show how a modular building – often seen as temporary – could benefit from being managed with the same level of insight as a permanent office or school. We wanted to prove that modular buildings can be managed with the same – if not better – efficiency than permanent spaces.<\/p>\n

The result was significantly greater confidence in the potential for improving modular performance and how using AI in modular buildings can actually be a beacon for encouraging AI adoption across the wider real estate industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Educating the modular construction industry<\/h3>\n

World of Modular Europe 2025 will offer attendees the chance to learn and converse directly with Mauer, Shulman, and dozens of other modular and offsite construction industry leaders.<\/p>\n

Mauer is excited to keep the industry\u2019s digital momentum going.<\/p>\n

\u201cInnovation leaders are testing out various ideas, and it is a fast-developing field,\u201d he says. \u201cWe see many very promising product configurators coming to the market, opening the door for custom orders made directly from online environments by developers or end-clients themselves. These will definitely help to increase the market for prefabricated housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI aim to share both my personal and our company\u2019s experiences, offering a positive outlook on how digitalization and BIM adoption can transform off-site construction operations. I hope all attendees, whether experienced or just starting, leave with new ideas, practical insights, or confirmation that they\u2019re on the right path with digitalization and BIM. I also want to spark questions and follow-up conversations. Like Rome, BIM-based workflows aren\u2019t built in a day, but they continue to evolve toward ever more efficient solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Shulman is similarly enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Madrid at the World of Modular Europe, I\u2019ll show how modular buildings can set the standard for modern building performance. Recognising that many in the audience may not yet be familiar with trustworthy AI, I\u2019ll provide clear explanations and make it relatable to their day-to-day work in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf attendees arrive having looked closely at the challenges they already face with their current energy management approach and metrics, they\u2019ll be in the best position to see the elegance of our solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
