To raise construction productivity, the Singapore construction industry has been encouraged to embrace the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) approach where significant portion of work is to be completed off-site in a controlled factory-manufacturing environment. PPVC is one such advance and highly productive construction technology that speeds up construction significantly.
