The proposed rewards for successfully harnessing modern methods of construction are many. Increased productivity, decreased carbon footprint, faster delivery and a greatly increased building capacity to name a few.
Working with a specialist supply chain, we have successfully harnessed a diverse range of modern and offsite construction methods.
To maximise success for our customers, the MMC choice begins at project inception - what are the key deliverables in terms of cost, quality, time and design, to make sure we pick the right construction method for the project's desired end result.

Hear how modular delivered a better way at Highfields Spencer Academy in Derby
Oxford is one of the best examples of a heritage city. Some of its buildings span nearly a thousand years.
The City's university and college's now face the challenge of adapting and protecting these historic buildings while balancing the need for meeting Net Zero aspirations. The challenge is focused on the ways and means of retrofitting old buildings, whilst considering the development of new carbon-neutral or positive buildings, which often require modern external design choices.
We gathered a group of experts to explore the challenges and solutions...

Collaboration, realism and discipline are absolutely fundamental in ensuring success in a construction project. By getting everyone around the table early, we can design only what meets the brief, eliminate waste and the need for value engineering late on, whilst also provide a shopping list of 'nice to haves' to help clients make informed decisions.
Interpreting a cost plan carefully into a design brief is fundamental to the success of a project.
The only way you can do that right is have all the disciplines around the table to interpolate that brief at the earliest stage and communication here is key to get it right at the outset."
To discuss the topic in more detail, we brought together a round table of experts to debate what design to cost really means, and how the industry can move forward. You can read more in the white paper opposite.
Improving certainty for better outcomes
The practical use of technology is no longer an optional benefit, but a necessity. Tried and tested methodology, coupled with directly employed Digital Implementation Managers, produces better outcomes every time.
Digital Construction enables the generation and management of information on a construction project during its entire life cycle to create digital and built assets. Digital Construction is an evolution of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Using augmented, virtual and digital reality technologies, our BIM Implementation Managers are helping customers produce results through three key phases:

Design | Visualising your building before we've even broken ground, helping you experience it and eradicate risks early
Build | BIM technologies providing everyone access to rich information which improves certainty
Operate | Delivering a physical and digital building, enabling you to operate and maintain your building
Exceptional customer experiences, sustainable innovations and timely delivery are only ensure by working with the best supply chain business in the industry.
This ranges from strategic national suppliers to local experts and SME's that deliver in the communities they are based.
Every year we hold a Group-wide supply chain engagement event at Silverstone, as well as numerous meet the buyer events so that every business is updated on our business plan and target areas. At the end of the year our annual Supply Chain Awards celebrate the very best from each of our regions.
Our supply chain partnership
By continually reviewing the tiers within our supply chain in line with their performance, we are able to deliver the best service for customers during pre-construction, construction and aftercare stages.
