Tim Hall of Buildoffsite offers his thoughts<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.london.gov.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/london_assembly_osm_report_0817.pdf\">Designed, Sealed, Delivered<\/a> is far more than a catchy title for the GLA\u2019s review of the potential for offsite manufactured homes. There is real clarity of both the opportunities and challenges for housing in the UK\u2019s capital. With the mayor\u2019s leadership and the current alignment of market and supply chain conditions, the time is right for offsite construction solutions to deliver the additional, high quality homes the UK market has been lacking for more than two generations.<\/p>\n<p>The report, its predecessors and Buildoffsite all recognise that the many rapidly developing offsite solutions are not a panacea to solve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/offsite-manufactured-homes-answer-londons-housing-crisis\/34729\">London\u2019s housing needs<\/a>. However, there is growing recognition that the evolution of precision-engineered housing models has helped to shift offsite from a maverick niche alternative to a mainstream and increasingly first-choice approach to construction. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/building-offsite-construction-taking-shape\/34034\">Offsite construction<\/a> is about generating additional housing capacity, rather than trying to displace traditional methods.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35445\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35445\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35445 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TIm-image-200x300.png\" alt=\"offsite construction solutions\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TIm-image-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TIm-image-100x150.png 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TIm-image-280x420.png 280w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TIm-image.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Hall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Two of the report\u2019s strong messages are the need for leadership and collaboration. Easy to trip off the tongue; harder to achieve in practice.<\/p>\n<p>On the leadership front, both housing clients (HAs, LAs and developers) and the supply chain need certainty that the policy landscape will be consistent over the medium to long term. A short-term stimulus in favour of offsite construction solutions will not encourage clients to migrate their approach to new solutions. GLA leadership, supported by the innovation fund, will give a clear and consistent message that offsite will have an opportunity to demonstrate its potential as part of the supply mix.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration is equally easy to pay lip service to, but we must shift away from the \u2018transactional\u2019 nature of housing delivery from end client through developer, designer and contractor to the manufacturers. The real prize of improved performance and productivity comes when the whole value chain collaborates, over multiple projects. Creating the landscape and opportunities to enable this level of collaboration is Buildoffsite\u2019s core purpose and we look forward to continuing our support for the GLA\u2019s ambition.<\/p>\n<p>The precision manufacturing of components, panels or whole modules gives offsite the potential to deliver greatly improved value to the client and occupants. Specification can be tailored to maximise energy performance and sustainability, at a lower cost than is achievable with traditional approaches.<\/p>\n<p>The speed of delivery offsite can provide is well documented and halving of the traditional on-site programme should be the ambition for all developments. Certainty of programme and cost is the overarching concern of almost every client I talk to. By industrialising much of the build process and eliminating weather dependency, the variability of time and cost can be greatly reduced. It is Buildoffsite\u2019s firm belief that as demand, manufacturing capability and capacity grow, we will soon reach a point where the cost of equivalent offsite construction solutions will drop below that of traditional construction. As with Saville Row suits and off-the-peg from M&amp;S \u2013 in future, a home \u2018hand-built\u2019 on-site will attract an artisan premium over the precision-engineered home.<\/p>\n<p>Consistently delivering these improved outcomes will need some significant changes in the way the industry works together. Collaboration between clients, designers, manufacturers and contractors will support the optimisation of designs, processes and the elimination of waste. This is enabled both by a common approach of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and Building Information Management (BIM). It is the whole system, integrated approach that Buildoffsite is working with client, contractor and manufacturer members to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>There are, however, one or two words of caution for the approach the GLA is proposing, as the team themselves have already identified.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, there is a concern from Buildoffsite\u2019s wider understanding of the supply side that there is something of an \u201cOffsite Gold Rush\u201d on the horizon. The supply shortfall is rightly seen as on opportunity to invest in capacity, but there are some who seem to take the approach of \u201clet\u2019s build a factory \u2013 how hard can it be?\u201d. If well-intentioned but incapable suppliers enter the market, it risks undermining the credibility of offsite more widely. Buildoffsite will continue to support existing and new entrants to develop their capability in line with the GLA and industry requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, with the ambition to create a Manufactured Housing Design Code, care should be taken to build on what exists rather than to create another new standard. The Home Quality Mark can be the focal point for raising standards in UK housing.<\/p>\n<p>It is in the wider industry\u2019s interest that the London Plan for housing delivers more homes, to a high standard, with consistently increasing levels of productivity and cost-effectiveness. In support of this, Buildoffsite and its members from across the client and supplier communities will fully support the intent of Designed, Sealed, Delivered and contribute to the Independent Panel going forward. We encourage all housing sector stakeholders to engage, contribute and shape the way forward. This is no time for spectators; housing needs its best innovators to collaborate and deliver.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interim Chief Executive<\/p>\n<p>Buildoffsite<\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 (0)20 7549 3306<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@buildoffsite.com\">info@buildoffsite.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildoffsite.com\">www.buildoffsite.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/buildoffsite\">@buildoffsite<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greater London Authority\u2019s Designed, Sealed, Delivered report calls on Mayor Sadiq Khan to kick-start a \u201chousing revolution\u201d through offsite construction solutions.

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
