Course Overview
This hands-on course provides learners with practical experience manufacturing prefabricated, high-performance wall panels in a small-scale, human-centred construction factory. Working from industry-standard drawings and fabrication instructions, participants will use professional tools, materials, and production processes to build real-life wall panels. Through team-based fabrication activities, learners will develop skills in precision manufacturing, quality control, safe work practices, and production workflows.
