With a global housing crisis and a scarcity of skilled labour, new methods are emerging to streamline construction and bring affordable housing to areas in need. One solution making waves in the construction sector is mobile micro-factories for affordable housing. This innovative technology promises to address the shortage by enabling on-site manufacturing for housing components, reducing costs, and minimising the demand for skilled labour. While PRV Engineering is not involved in this specific technology, our expertise in structural steel fabrication and site work aligns with forward-thinking solutions that transform the construction landscape.

Effective structural design is challenging as the process requires an engineer to carefully consider loads, stresses, and forces at every step. They must also think about the environment in which it will be built and how it might affect other nearby structures. In this article, we share a few of the most important structural design considerations an engineer should keep in mind at all times. But first, let’s recap what exactly is meant by structural design.
