dry construction Explanation: I think you are right to want "Dry construction" looks very close to what you describe, although it is often limited to interior construction. However, it is certainly associated with assembly with no wet components, not just Welsh (or Irish) dry walls :-) https://www.degruyter.com/view/product/202269 https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/companies/heres-why-dry-construction-technique-is-gaining-popularity-2242915.html |

dry sector or dry industry Explanation: bonjour Tony, voici une définition, elle vous aidera peut etre : La filière sèche représente une évolution du secteur de bâtiment vers davantage de productivité grâce à l'usage de matériaux légers, comme l'acier ou le bois assemblés mécaniquement. En comparaison à la filière humide, la filière sèche ne nécessite pas d'eau. Les avantages sont multiples : Une construction écologique : la filière sèche permet une fabrication respectueuse de l'environnement en respectant les ressources naturelles. Une gestion du chantier facilitée : la construction est plus silencieuse, plus propre. Les délais sont réduits puisqu'il n'y a plus besoin de temps de séchage des matériaux (béton, ciment, platre). Cela représente également moins de gêne pour le voisinage. |

Water-efficient construction / Water-conserving construction Explanation: Hi Tony. As you suggest, it seems the idea this is a green building initiative for water conservation by primarily avoiding cement: "Concrete is a thirsty behemoth, sucking up almost a 10th of the world’s industrial water use. This often strains supplies for drinking and irrigation, because 75% of this consumption is in drought and water-stressed regions." Ref:https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/feb/25/concrete-the-... I have found references to "waterless construction" and "water-efficient construction" in addition to "dry construction". Dry/Waterless Construction/Installation Ref:https://greenbuildingencyclopaedia.uk/encyclopaedia/code/cri... Water-efficient construction gets to the point a bit more, so it would be my suggestion.
