[https://www.buildoffsite.com/content/uploads/2019/11/BoS-Glossary-2018_v2.pdf Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms], published by Buildoffsite in 2018, defines panellised construction as a system in which: ‘Flat panel units are produced in a factory and assembled on-site to produce a 3D structure. The most common approach is to use open panels, or frames, which consist of a skeletal structure only, with services, insulation, external cladding and internal finishing occurring on-site. More complex panels (often known as closed panels) involve more factory-based fabrication and may include lining materials and insulation. These may also include services, windows, doors, internal wall finishes and external claddings. This category embraces newer panellised approaches such as structural insulated panels (SIPs), storey height aircrete panels, crosswall panellised construction and cross laminated timber (CLT) panels.’
