With labour and housing shortages driving the adoption of modular construction methods, alongside a growing emphasis on decarbonization and sustainability, the industry is rapidly shifting towards modern construction practices and offsite fabrication.

Manufacton offers integrated project management software specifically designed for offsite construction and prefabrication. Their solution is said to be utilised by general contractors, specialty trade contractors, and modular builders. The software enables contractors to effectively manage and track offsite construction and modular fabrication throughout the entire construction process.

鈥漌e are delighted to welcome the Manufacton team to the AllPlan family,鈥� said Eduardo Lazzarotto, chief product and strategy officer at AllPlan.

鈥淢anufacton is a great fit and a perfect complement to our existing portfolio of construction solutions. This acquisition enhances our expertise in covering the entire product lifecycle and gives us a strong competitive advantage in the rapidly growing modular construction and DfMA markets.鈥�
