A TIME FOR CHANGE
Are you equipped to cope with Changes in
Construction Technology in the 21st Century
Why build the past when the customer is
asking for the future?
Offsite construction techniques offer extraordinary
benefits to construction companies, developers and end
users alike.
Efficiency
Factory operatives can be up to 250% more efficient
than their site based counterparts. In a factory there is
no walking up flights of stairs, trips to the cafeteria on
site, toilet breaks maybe 500m from the workplace,
gathering materials, moving tools around.
Factories have dedicated workstations where everything
is to hand. Let’s put it simply. You would not expect to
buy a car built in someone's yard at home. So why build
a building that way. The worst place to build a building
is a construction site.
Intelligent Offsite have been helping clients reduce
their project time since 1985. We have worked with
some of the world’s leading companies in helping them
reduce their construction programme by is some cases
up to 50% and reduced overall project costs by 30%.
How have we done this?
Quite simply by introducing manufacturing techniques
into the construction process. Bathroom pods take away
6 trades from the Jobsite, Modular buildings can reduce
the work taken on site by up to 70%. Many European
contractors now embrace both technologies as a part of
their construction process, in some cases installing
Bathroom Pods into the Modular building and
embracing designs that allow them to go 15 storeys or
higher.
It is predicted
that by 2020
over 25% of the
global
construction
workforce will
be at
retirement age
and offsite will
gain a massive
market share
WHY MOVE INTO OFFSITE
Why do clients turn to Offsite construction
techniques to deliver their projects on time
and on budget?
Faster Construction
Reduced Costs
Improved quality
It is well documented that the Global construction industry
faces a chronic shortage of skilled labour. Young people no
longer want to come into an industry where they have to
work in damp, often cold and dangerous places. Skilled
labour shortages, condensed construction schedules,
rising material costs and increasing customer demands
go hand in hand with operating in today’s construction
landscape. This can easily chip away at a project’s bottom
line and are driving the need for the industry to adopt
smarter and more innovative ways to build permanent
structures.
When we look at every sector in every country, we find
more and more Contractors and developers are adapting
their supply chain practices to capture the benefits and
competitive advantages gained from Offsite. Modular
buildings and Bathroom Pods are a new global standard‐
setting trend within the construction industry.
This is an industry where global turnover is now increasing
by 5% every year with a recent EU Funded report
predicting an increase of over 70% in the next 10 years on
the use of Modular Buildings and Bathroom Pods.
Offsite manufacturing should take place in the same way a
car manufacturer builds cars - in a controlled factory
environment, where the production process is closely
monitored to ensure quality every time utilising unskilled
labour and technically advanced components.
What would it be worth to shorten your construction
schedule, whilst maintain budget and delivering a finished
project to the highest quality standards, improving health
and safety and minimising waste, all for the same cost as
traditional construction.
There has never been a better time to set up or improve
your manufacturing facility.
Together we can make this happen.
BENEFITS OF OFFSITE
Offsite construction is inherently an
efficient and cost-effective way of
constructing all or parts of a building,
typically halving the time of traditional
build whilst offering a range of associated
client benefits including:
• Finance charges can be reduced as the payment
period and profile is different and revenue
realisation can be earlier. • Lightweight steel frame can act as the primary
structure, removing the need for traditional
supporting structures. • LGSF modular product is typically 30% lighter than
a traditionally built solution, allowing optimisation
of foundation design and associated cost savings. • Factory automation reduces the need for diverse
site trades. • Programme time reduces as work in the factory
can commence in parallel to preparing the site.
• Fully fitted modules accelerate construction time
allowing up to 300 sq. m. of accommodation to be
installed per day. A new build hotel comprising
around 120 beds and various front of house/back
of house facilities can be constructed in around 24
weeks.
• Bathroom pods are now used extensively on a
global basis, with most major Hotel chains
mandating their use. In Europe alone over
130,000 bathroom pods are manufactured every
year.
• Compared to construction site operatives, factory
production workers have found to be 250% more
efficient, in both their productivity and output.
•
A GLOBAL BUSINESS
Global connections and a universal supply
chain.
Intelligent Offsite have unparalleled experience in
helping our clients understand the complexities of
Offsite manufacturing. We have set up facilities for
clients entering the market in Australia, Canada, and USA
and have clients in 12 European countries.
We have also assisted many existing manufacturers
improve their facilities and introduced both production
and procurement efficiencies.
How can we do this?
It’s simple. We have over 35 years’ experience in Offsite
manufacturing, from cradle to grave operations and use
that experience for the benefit of our clients.
We have introduced both Bathroom Pods and Modular
buildings to parts of the world where it had been very
low key or non-existent.
Our Global supply chain
We have partnered with many companies for over 30
years we can trust to deliver the products necessary to
make your offsite manufacturing business a success.
From Steel roll forming technology and Bathroom
Sanitary ware right through to Engineering and MEP
Design we can introduce partners who can assist you on
every continent.
Our Commitment to you
If you engage Intelligent Offsite to help you achieve your
goals and aspirations, we work only for you on that
particular project. We receive no commission or
payments from out supply chain partners, we are totally
transparent. That way we have no commitment or are
beholding to any member of our preferred supply chain.
That way we can if necessary build a supply chain local to
you, who have a local understanding of your needs and
requirements.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Some would say that you cannot buy
experience…We would disagree
We believe that no other organisation comes close
to having the practical experience that Intelligent
Offsite has. From Shop floor experience,
Estimating, Design, Production, Installation and
Sales we have been involved in every aspect of the
Offsite process, in both Modular Buildings and
Bathroom pods.
Many of our customers consider us to be a “One
stop shop”
Who have we worked with?
We have been involved with many companies with
a Global reach right through to small start-up
companies looking to gain a foothold in the Offsite
market.
Many of our clients have experienced a rapid
reduction in build or production times by
implementing our ideas and methods.
How long have we been doing this?
Our earliest involvement in Offsite goes back to
1984 when we worked with a major oil company
in developing a modular retail shop for their petrol
forecourts. This reduced their overall
redevelopment time by 50%. We have been
involved in the Bathroom pod industry since the
mid-1990s.
Our Processes and Procedures
Our processes and procedures have been honed
over a 30 year period, and we are constantly
looking at ways of continuous improvement. We
first introduced innovative wiring and plumbing
systems into Offsite manufacturing over 10 years
ago, and have proven procedures that ensure the
most effective manufacturing techniques for
manufacturers are implemented. This in turn leads
to a cost effective solution for end users and
manufacturers alike.
OUR SERVICES
We have a global supply chain and partner
with many reputable companies to allow us
to deliver a complete service.
Product Development
We specialise in helping our clients diverse into new
markets in Offsite manufacturing. If you want to enter
the Modular Building or Bathroom pod market we
have a dedicated team who can assist you hands on.
Factory setup
We have setup manufacturing facilities for clients in
the USA, Canada, Europe and Australasia. We have
helped those clients manufacture prototypes, trained
their workforce, and written bespoke QA & QC
Documentation. We have also set up the Sales and
estimation functions.
Supply chain sourcing
As part of our setup process we source a reliable and
local supply chain, normally backed up by a global
products manufacturer. We have worked with
manufacturers such as Grohe, Kaldewei, Laufen and
others to ensure our clients get a continuous supply.
Project Management
We represent the end user when they decide to
contract out an element of their build process to an
offsite manufacturer. From initial tender evaluation
through to factory inspection and final handover we
represent the client’s best interest.
Design
We have partnerships with Structural and MEP
engineers as well as our own design team, who can
provide structural solutions for Modular as well as
MEP design for Bathroom pods and Modular fit outs
and our design team can provide layout design as well
as digitally engineered drawings.
RECENT PROJECTS
We have completed projects on a Global
basis. Here we feature a few of our
recent projects
Canada
The client engaged Intelligent Offsite to help
them set up what would be Canada’s first
mainstream bathroom pod manufacturer. We
engaged a supply chain and trained the
workforce to manufacture 6 prototype
showroom Bathroom pods. We also set up the
Design, Estimating and QA Functions as well as
instigating Sales meetings with major Hotel
chains in future supply. We also designed and
project managed the production facility fit out,
as well as fitting out a fully retail furnished
showroom with all goods supplied free of charge
from our global supply chain.
USA
We have 3 recent assignments in the USA. The
first was for a manufacturer of Modular buildings
and Bathroom pods who employed us to look
and improve their manufacturing techniques,
and the design element. We also assisted them in
setting up a facility in Thailand for production
that was targeted at the Australian market.
The second assignment was for a general
contractor, who we assisted in setting up their
own pod manufacturing and the Third was a
Research and design project for a new
manufacturer.
Australia
We have completed 2 assignments in Australia.
The first was in Perth for newly formed Podium
Pods who are part of McNally group and the other
a bathroom pod company setup for Australian
Portable camps in Adelaide.
On both projects we identified a supply chain to
work with the clients in the future, as well as
designing and manufacturing prototypes, putting
in place a QA and QC system and designing and fit
out of the production facility.

true gentleman.
His drive and determination both personally and in
business is a reflection of the man and sets shining
examples to us all.
It was a pleasure and never a chore to work with
someone of the same mind set, the same goals "to
succeed" and the same mentality as myself.
Where ever the road takes Paul he will deliver and
succeed".
"I have always found Paul to be innovative and
inspirational. He is a consummate professional with a
