The Advanced Industrialised Methods for the Construction of Homes<\/a> (AIMCH) project has named Simon Dudley, interim chair of Homes England<\/a>, as chair of its stakeholder group<\/h2>\n

The \u00a36.5m AIMCH project aims to tackle the UK’s housing crisis using cost-effective Modern Methods of Construction<\/a> (MMC) delivered through industrialised offsite panelised solutions.<\/p>\n

The three-year initiative, which has been live since early 2019, has been trialling new digital design tools<\/a>, manufacturing advancements, improved near-to-market offsite systems and learn site processing on live housing projects over the past 18 months.<\/p>\n

Its ultimate goal is to support the sector in delivering 120,000 additional homes a year for the same or less costs than traditional methods, built 30% quicker and with 50% fewer defects.<\/p>\n

AIMCH’s stakeholder group provides two-way engagement to disseminate project lessons and outcomes with industry organisations.<\/p>\n

Challenges in a post-pandemic economy<\/h3>\n

Dudley has a wealth of experience in major construction projects, including the regeneration of Maidenhead<\/a> during his three-and-a-half years as borough leader. He said: “I’m delighted to join as chair of the AIMCH project. The stakeholder group draws together key interests and views, to share learning and concerns, providing a collective approach and wider market impact to drive the uptake of MMC systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cAIMCH is forward-thinking and committed to delivering high quality, cost-effective housing. The AIMCH project will have an even greater role to play as the construction sector resets from Covid-19.<\/p>\n

“The clear benefits from Modern Methods of Construction will address the challenges faced in a post-pandemic economy made more complex with Brexit and net-zero carbon goals.<\/p>\n

“Industrialised offsite panelised solutions<\/a> will act as a catalyst for a step-change in the industry. Capturing all these benefits through this project are key insights for the industry going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AIMCH project is a collaboration between Stewart Milne Group<\/a>, Barratt Developments<\/a>, London & Quadrant Housing Trust<\/a>, Tarmac Trading<\/a>, the Manufacturing Technology Centre<\/a>, the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre<\/a> and Forster Roofing Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is funded by UKRI and project managed by Limberger Associates.<\/p>\n
