Workshop on Prefabricated Modular Buildings - Design and Construction When Tuesday, 18th December 2018, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Where Auditorium, Construction Industry Development Authority - CIDA, (Former ICTAD), Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo 07. Overview Prefabricated modular construction is gaining popularity in modern construction practice as a method of deliver- ing projects at a rapid speed and with greater quality. It is only a matter of time before prefabricated technolo- gies become a necessity in Sri Lanka due to issues such as limitations in skilled labour and growing expec- tations of investors to complete projects faster. Modular construction has proved its potential in overseas markets such as Australia and Sweden in playing an essential role in building faster with higher quality. This workshop intends to share such international knowl- edge and experience with the professional community in Sri Lanka. Registration Course Fee: Rs. 4,750.00 Early Bird Registration: (before 14 th Dec) Rs. 4,250.00 *Discounted rate for Group Registrations.
