520 _aExplains how Off-Site Manufacture (OSM) and the use of steel system technology can help deliver the required number affordable and sustainable homes. Compared with traditional methods of construction, OSM can deliver up to four times as many homes as well as reducing on-site construction time. Steel system technology also maximises cost-effectiveness, has high long-term sustainability and is a flexible and stable construction material.
