FPInnovations commissioned Scius to coordinate the development of a research roadmap on the future role of industrialized construction in the building sector.

The goal of this roadmap is to ensure that wood building systems are well positioned in the shift from site construction to the factory floor. This is in response to the culmination of several market trends pointing to a future where construction is a digitized and automated industrial process.
