Project details
959 modules- 211 apartments [44 variants]- 584 open sided volumetric modules [117 variants ignoring customisation] (generally 2 per trailer)- 187 roof panels [32 variants] (up to 8 per trailer depending on sizes for stacking)- Corridor roof panels (possibly 8 per trailer)- 140 corridor floor panels [25 variants] (possibly 8 per trailer)- 48 balcony units [12 variants] (possibly 8 per trailer)- Manufactured on Deeside in North Wales
Congested site- Suburban South London- 2 unloading bays- Local secure holding area
10 week assembly period- 20 modules per day to avoid weekend working- 2 per hour for a 10 hour day- Could be 10 trailers to unload per day (20 truck movements)- Restricted STGO-Cat1 truck movements (07h30 ~10h00, 16h00~19h00)- At least 20 trailers in use at any time
Current manufacturing rate of 10 modules per day- Buffer stocks required - Module manufacturing might have to start 10 weeks before start of site assembly

Lessons learnt

Lessons: Architectural Design
Controlling the number of variants of manufactured modular parts is a challenge for designers.
But, too much standardisation produces boring buildings.
Corner areas are difficult to modularise especially where the corners are not at 90 degrees.
System suppliers need to consider reference arrangements for corners areas.
Ideally, the system for construction should be identified for the early design for planning application so that the design can exploit the positive attributes of the proposed system.
The structural philosophy, assembly method, transportation and lifting considerations have to be understood by the architect.
Strategic decisions have to be made early in the process. Leaving decisions site workers is not an option.
Effective off-site-manufacturing requires 10 times more information than that required for in-situ construction and that information is required early in the process.
Many architects are not familiar with the disciplined ways of working demanded by off-site-manufacturing- Much architectural design work has to be re-done by the contractor and manufacturers.
ManuBuild defined effective ways for using the various levels of technical information from design through to assembly.
There is a need for Design For Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) iterations involving the architectural designers, contractors and manufacturers.
Care is required to create naming conventions to help interoperability down the information chain.
Corner supported modules have architectural benefits.
The benefits of off-site-manufacturing are not being realised with the results being similar to conventional construction in terms of cost and time.

Lessons: Manufacturing
Manufacturing plants require serious investment in the order of £5 million+.
Choosing a manufacturer early has benefits but also includes big risks.
Manufacturers are line-of-balance process driven and construction projects are one-off project driven. Manufacturers need to keep their manufacturing assets busy which means that they will be juggling the bidding, design, planning and production of a number of projects simultaneously.
The scope for production runs of identical modules is limited.
Production rates for manufacturing for individual projects are likely to be less than the site assembly rate. This limits the scope for late customisation and requires more finance.
There needs to be an effective exchange of technical information between contractors, manufacturers and contractors.
ManuBuild explored economies of scale. It was noted that after 1000 units per year, the rate of increase in benefit to unit cost reduced. However , at the higher rates of production the discounts from component and material suppliers increases.
- Suppliers need to deliver on trucks loaded to their maximum capacity. - Suppliers and customers need to automate their trading systems and to plan production together. - Suppliers need to invest in production methods to meet customer needs. - (Deep discounting requires reduced risk, trust, business confidence and possibly national agreements across the
supply chain.)
Off site manufacturing still appears to be more expensive than in-situ construction.
Final customers do not want to take risks on their projects.

Lessons: Logistics and Assembly
Volumetric modules can be very fast to assemble on site. One every 30 minutes is feasible.
Fast rates of site assembly need the methods and logistics to be worked out meticulously.
Careful detailing reduces localised damage.
Assembly sequences need to be 100% complete and 100% accurate. This requires much more detail than is traditionally included on construction project programmes.
Adding programme detail is very boring and requires skill. Better software tools are required.
The construction friendly logistics solutions already exist.
The access required during module assembly needs to be fast to adjust for a rapidly changing building. Mast climbing platforms are ideal for this. However, cladding sub-contractors are not keen on this method and prefer conventional scaffolding because they work on at least three levels simultaneously.
Fast assembly requires close collaboration between contractor, manufacturer and transportation contractors.
Much more discipline is required from both companies and individual workers.
Information used by the site people needs to be complete, accessible and very easy to use.
Training for supervisors and operatives is definitely needed.
