SWPA<\/a>, as part of LHC<\/a>, are long-standing proponents of MMC, and its engagement with the wider topics of offsite construction can be seen with a number of webinars<\/a><\/h2>\n

Through its Offsite Construction (NH2) and Modular Buildings (MB2) frameworks<\/a>, SWPA has engaged with multiple public sector organisations across a variety of projects.<\/p>\n

With all this work they understand the benefits of MMC construction for housing and how to utilise the expertise of its appointed companies for the best outcome \u2013 this award-winning case study<\/a> and the lessons learnt document<\/a> with Bristol Housing Festival are great examples of this.<\/p>\n

Housing providers in the South West are working with SWPA<\/a>, as a long-standing provider of procurement and delivery solutions for offsite, to combine their programmes to deliver a substantial number of beautiful, customisable, zero carbon homes.<\/p>\n

By joining the cluster, with standardised housing types, housing providers will unlock the benefits of demand aggregation which could lead to lower cost and risk.<\/p>\n

\u2018Procure housing with confidence\u2019<\/h3>\n

Tony Woods, group technical manager for LHC and SWPA, said: \u201cDemand aggregation passes on process savings to the public sector clients in the group by enabling efficiencies from the secured pipeline of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our appointed companies knowing the volume of houses our client group will commit to, creates supply chain security and provides the economies of scale needed to drive down costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil Blackmore, procurement manager for SWPA, added: \u201cUsing a cluster concept to create a procurement route based on demand aggregation means that all registered housing providers in the South West can procure housing with confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is especially effective for the smaller housing associations who may not have the expertise in their teams for MMC as they benefit from ours and that of the public sector groups already engaged in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
