Problem

Construction projects are replete with examples of a lack of control and certainty, including overruns in cost and delivery times, quality control issues, increases in skill shortages, and reduced productivity. This challenge is compounded by an aging building stock and a growing population.​

Solution

Eliminating the one-off nature of building design and delivery without compromising on flexibility and architecture. Utilising a fully integrated design and built pre-approved solution, transitioning the industry from classic construction ‘Projects’ to offsite precision-manufactured ‘Products’.
