We have identified exactly what we do here on our Cast Proposition Matrix. As you increase Pre-Manufactured Value, our scope of services and solutions broadens to include specialist advisory and project delivery services related to greater consideration or application of MMC.

As industry pioneers, we challenge existing ways of doing things whilst respecting our clients’ own constraints and appetite for risk. Our focus is to increase productivity, predictability and performance. We believe that increasing the Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) of projects through the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), combined with product optimisation and more integrated procurement and delivery models, are the biggest combined agents of change in construction.

By modernising our approach to consultancy, we can help our end customers aspire to delivering better buildings and places, and both the supply chain and clients can make more money – all whilst being mindful of environmental and social impacts.

Our three Values of Respect, Share and Learn defines a business that has innovation and continuous improvement as the foundations of success.
