We've got MMC covered

21  Digital Technologies

Digital technologies are at the core

Working in 3D design across all stages of the project lifecycle, we use data to develop efficiencies and create insight. 

Using the data on projects we can create sophisticated virtual reality sign off processes, produce embodied carbon calculations and set up KPI dashboards to track progress.

22  Design for Manufacture and Assembly DfMA

Designing for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA)

Working closely with the supply chain, including manufacturers, we create designs that can be easily manufactured in a factory and assembled onsite. 

By using a platform approach to standardise components in our designs means we can enhance production and repeatability at scale.

23  Offsite Categories

Expertise delivering MMC categories

Particularly relevant to property and buildings, we have experience across all of the 7 categories defined by MHCLG’s MMC definition framework.

We are at the forefront of research and development and have extensive knowledge of MMC and DfMA systems.

24  Digital Twins

Tracking asset performance with digital twins

A digital twin is a digital representation of your physical asset: it uses real-life data to track and manage its performance and provide user insight.

Digital twins can be used at different stages of your project lifecycle. We can use them to monitor the manufacturing process and/or provide them at asset handover so you have a digital representative which can be used to track and monitor the asset over its lifetime.

WSP kit-of-parts approach

Why hasn’t construction achieved the same efficiency, quality control and certainty as manufacturing?

Now it can.
