“Looking at how previous OCRC projects have influenced our industry makes me confident in their technical expertise and passion for running a building envelope research facility. I am confident a team of experts including Dr. Alan Lloyd, Dr. Zhen Lei, Dr. Samira Rizaee, Brandon Searle, and other technical staff, will make substantial contributions to the industry through this facility.”
Don Isnor, P.Eng., Vice President, Strescon LimitedWe work with trade associations, standards development organizations and public sector organizations to perform industry-wide research that highlight industry trends, benchmarks current capabilities and capacity and delivers roadmaps for industry to innovate.
"I have worked with the University of New Brunswick’s Off-site Construction Research Centre (OCRC) and other industry leaders over the last two years developing a new CIB roadmap for offsite. This applies capability maturity modelling and thematic alignment across Design, Manufacturing and Construction to establish definitive evidential chains covering: business platforms, skills escalators, capacity planning, resilience scenarios, process optimisation, and technology-automation integration.
The culmination of this work has highlighted offsite’s unique innovation premium potential across its products and services. However, this work would not have been possible without the leadership, insight and tireless professionalism of OCRC. Thank you everyone.”
