With increasing global urbanisation and thus related increasing housing demand, the need for affordable housing is becoming one of the major societal issues. This trend has led to a resurgence of the modular, off-sitehousing construction which stands in close relationship with digitalisationand digital fabrication in the AEC industry. However, digital technologies have not yet been fully incorporatedin the design and construction processes for off-site modular fabrication, despite their potential for both accelerated as well ascost and material efficient housing construction. As computational tools and BIM enhance involvement of all relevant actors across the value chain, these technologies have significant potential for enabling mass customizationand participatory design in the layout of individual dwelling units and the distribution of non-housing uses within multi-storey housing buildings.This paper presents the ongoing research project "WOHNEN 4.0"2-which aims to develop a digital platform "Housing 4.0"; based on coupling of various digital tools and databases, as well as on integration of processes and actors involved in the design,construction and use of multi-storey housing, including architects, construction companies, housing associations and property developers and inhabitants in Austrian context. Thereby, the potentials of BIM for modular, off-site housing assembly in order to improve planning and construction processes, reduce cost and construction time and allow for mass customization will be explored. The digital platform"Housing 4.0"is based oncoupling of digital applications "BIM4D2P" (BIM for Design to Production),"PHD" (Parametric Habitat Designer), with a joint digital knowledge base containing all relevant parameters fordesign and construction. "BIM4D2P" acts as an interface between design and construction and enables interdisciplinary BIM data exchange without data losses, as it is basedon common data structures. "PHD" is designed to generate and visualise floor plans and buildings automaticallyand to calculate investment cost and return of investment. Additionally BIM-modules (digital object libraries) and joint data structures for data-exchange across the value chain will be provided; as well as systematical categories of parameters for off-site modular construction types and requirements for adaptability and flexibility in modular fabrication.The novel approach in this project is user-involvement; which has been neglected in recent national and international projects on off-site, modular construction supported by digital technologies.
