Modernised Production
Our goal is to harness modern methods of construction and digital technology to build more homes and achieve higher standards of quality, safety and sustainability.
Our Approach
We are creating a new generation of beautifully designed and precisely made homes. We want to showcase how the industry can modernise to increase production and achieve high standards of product quality, environmental performance and safety.
Modern Methods of Construction
Designing homes to maximise the use of modern methods of construction
Many of our sites already use modern methods of construction, such as bathroom pods, pre-manufactured staircases and panelised systems, to raise construction standards. Both our internal and external teams have been upskilled on the benefits of modular construction and product design. We are now working to provide additional information to assist every project team in reviewing the potential modern methods of construction from the outset.
Increasing the Use of Digital Technology
Assessing the benefits of digitally enabled processes for each home built
We recognise that the industry needs to move forward and begin to both design and deliver homes digitally. A new and bespoke digital collaboration platform is being rolled out across the business to ensure that we have a complete digital record of every home from pre-construction to post-completion, known as the 'Golden Thread of Information'. This is being supported by the increased use of other technologies such as Building Information Modelling, automated design and collaboration tools.
Highlights
We have delivered and installed our first modules at Kidbrooke Village from our advanced manufacturing facility
More than 95% of our projects incorporate pre-manufactured assemblies and components
A new collaboration platform to provide a digital record for every home from pre-construction to post-completion is being used by >75 projects
