01
DfMA coordination
Design for Manufacture & Assembly is led from RIBA Stage 2 — interfaces, tolerances and module geometries locked before manufacturing release.
Technical compliance
Engineered compliance, documented evidence.
Next Generation construction is only as strong as the discipline behind it. We engineer compliance into the system from RIBA Stage 2, document the evidence at every hold point, and hand over a complete record at Stage 6.
Engineering disciplines
Six performance areas, coordinated from concept.
Fire, acoustic, airtightness and thermal continuity are not handed to the contractor on site — they are engineered into the manufactured element.
02
Interface geometry
Module-to-module, module-to-structure and module-to-services interfaces engineered with documented tolerances on every joint.
03
Fire compartmentation
Fire strategy engineered into the panel and module build-ups — specialist fire engineer engaged from concept stage.
04
Acoustic performance
Inter-tenancy and wet-room acoustic separation designed and tested against project-specific targets.
05
Airtightness
Factory-applied membranes, taped joints and documented connection sequences deliver consistent test results.
06
Thermal continuity
Continuous insulation strategies — designed to eliminate cold bridging through interfaces and connections.
Quality assurance
Five inspection layers from raw material to handover.
Every layer documented against the evidence pack. Every record traceable to the unit it covers.
- 01
Material certification
Mill certificates, supplier QA records and conformity certificates captured against each batch.
- 02
In-process inspection
Dimensional, weld and finish inspection at defined hold points within the production line.
- 03
Pre-dispatch sign-off
Module / panel functionally tested and signed off before release to logistics.
- 04
Site receipt inspection
Independent site inspection on receipt — tolerances and damage logged against each unit.
- 05
Post-installation commissioning
Fire stopping, acoustic, airtightness and M&E commissioning evidenced before handover.
RIBA stage hold points
Where we lock the build, stage by stage.
Each hold point produces a documented decision. No stage progresses until the previous stage's evidence is complete.
RIBA STAGE 202
Concept Design
DfMA strategy locked. System selection (LSF / volumetric / hybrid). Fire and acoustic specialists engaged. Module size envelope defined against transport and craneage.
RIBA STAGE 303
Spatial Coordination
Interface geometry frozen. Service routing through manufactured elements coordinated. Carbon and energy strategy committed. Fixed-price proposal issued.
RIBA STAGE 404
Technical Design
Manufacturing-issue drawings released. Evidence pack structure agreed. QA inspection plan issued.
RIBA STAGE 505
Manufacturing & Construction
Production line inspection cycle live. Site interface coordination weekly. Hold-point reviews documented.
RIBA STAGE 606
Handover
Evidence pack issued. As-built BIM model handed over. O&M, warranty and aftercare schedule transferred.
