customers the freedom to design a building, with the help of in-house designers, in the style of their choice and to suit their specifi c needs. Once agreed, T e Qube team takes on the entire project, from handling planning applications and ensuring compliance with building regulations, through to providing drainage and utilities, on-site installation, testing, and the installation of furniture. Off -site construction means that time on site is


kept to a minimum, following stringent health and safety guidelines and causing as little disruption as possible when it is time to deliver and assemble. Part of the building industry has been advocating MMC for some time – rightly so, with benefi ts such as shorter build times and higher quality control, coupled with the environmental benefits; the adoption of sustainable techniques and materials help to reduce the project’s contribution to the production of CO2. Speedy construction of much-needed medical


provision highlighted the benefi ts of MMC, and Jordan Spittle is hopeful that will act as a catalyst for bringing the wider benefi ts into sharper focus. “Perceptions have to change and we need to


open people’s eyes to the possibilities of using MMC,” said Jordan. “T e possibilities are almost endless and extra space in a school or a hospital will always be utilised. A lot of our work has been with independent schools that are increasing capacity by moving to two-form year groups, so need additional space to house that additional intake. “Traditional methods of construction are not


going to disappear overnight (nor should they) but we are confi dent of the future potential of the products and services that we off er. We have the ability to work with other modular/volumetric partners, or to work with more traditional construction companies and architects to help them understand how and where they can utilise MMC as part of their wider off ering. “Our job is to raise the profi le of the sector because we know that


as attitudes change, and people see what is possible when utilising MMC, demand will rise and there will be fantastic opportunities across various sectors all over the country.”
