Our Services
Business Planning
As prevailing conditions demand higher performing buildings from less resource, the evidence is clear that these will not be delivered through conventional means alone. These conditions represent an opportunity for those wishing to develop new offers based on modern methods of construction.
Our experienced, cross-functional team has developed a creative and systematic approach to the selection, development, and implementation of off-site solutions. Presented as a business case or feasibility report.
Our business planning activities include:
market analysis; capability assessment; technology reviews; product design; options appraisal
business case or feasibility report with financial modelling including - equipment, materials, labour (direct & indirect), production rates, Capex/lease expense, working capital requirements, product costs, margins.
Contact us to discuss a tailor-made plan that delivers your objectives.
Product Design
Increasingly complex demands on the built environment require more than a simple step-by-step approach to design. With the team’s background in rapid prototyping, automotive and offsite sectors, we combine our exceptional design and engineering skills to provide unique insight into the challenges of developing new products.
We manage the evolution of new products and systems from concept generation, through screening, preliminary design, evaluation and design development, to rapid prototyping and New Product Introduction, all within our robust Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA) approach.
Throughout the process we aim to optimise our client’s selected critical product performance requirements e.g.safety, thermal & air tightness, acoustic, fire, structure, MEP, for the whole product lifecycle through manufacture, integration, operation, and maintenance.
Working across the supply chain, we build on existing core competencies within our client’s team to develop new products that generate value for their customers and themselves.
Contact us today to discuss your Product Design requirements.
Process Design
The manufacture of a product is the physical transformation of raw materials or components into finished products that meet the specifications and requirements of customers.
The best manufacturing facilities break it down this process into a series of planned and controlled activities that happen concurrently and/or in series. Applying lessons learned and the most effective methods developed through best practice, we offer two knowledge-driven services:
Process Design: Organising new process inputs such as material, product, and resource flow requirements, then synchronising, and balancing activity for optimal efficiency.
Process Development: Refining and improving existing manufacturing processes to foster continuous improvement and enhance collective capability.
Whether you are starting with a clean slate or improving the efficiency of an existing process flow, we take an end-to-end view of optimised process flow to meet your needs.
Contact us today to discuss your specific requirements.
Product Testing & Accreditation
Construction is evolving to address the challenges of responsible development.
The principals at APPLY have been testing and developing new offsite manufactured products and systems for more than 25 years.
Working with all the leading test facilities in the UK and Ireland, we have developed Category 1 Volumetric, Category 2 Panelised, Category 3 Non-systemised structural, and Category 5 Components and Assemblies, through physical and theoretical modelling to demonstrate actual performance.
We aim to close the gap between design intent and demonstrated, verifiable performance.
Independent accreditation provides assurance to lenders, developers, contractors, clients, and consumers, that construction systems designed, manufactured and installed by accredited MMC providers, will conform to industry best practice in terms of durability and system integrity.
Get in touch today to discuss how we can help you deliver assurance to your customers.
Offsite Consulting
The principals at APPLY have more than 25 years’ experience in the global offsite sector, providing advice and guidance to our clients on a wide range of MMC topics. From market analysis and entry strategies to operational excellence, we support clients entering and expanding in the offsite sector.
We position ourselves as a critical friend – encouraging and challenging while sharing our knowledge and experience to help you succeed.
We do this by getting to know our clients well and developing a deep understanding of their context and acting as an advocate for their success. We have the courage to ask difficult questions, and offer open, honest, and always constructive feedback.
