China - Shanghai

Our client had developed a complete housing system aimed at the affordable housing market. With a highly competitive price and minimal labour cost, houses could be erected in as few as 3 days and the client wanted Mtech to ensure that the system offering was suitable for the UK affordable housing market.

India - Mumbai & Gujarat

Mtech helped the client develop a new manufacturing facility producing volumetric buildings and container-based products for the Indian and African markets. We implemented new manufacturing processes based on systemised production methodologies, using computer based material and manufacturing control systems, then mentored the manufacturer through the set up and commissioning phases.

United States – East Coast

"Develop a suitable bathroom pod design and specification that met the different needs of the US construction market" was our brief. Then to support the client in persuading traditionally based developers and contractors to use the principle in using pods. We also developed a manufacturing model that could be replicated across a number of US states using existing contract modular manufacturers. Finally helping to implement and troubleshoot the new production facilities.

South Africa

The brief from this client was to make improvements to an existing volumetric modular and flat pack product range, whilst developing its suitability for camp accommodation, education and healthcare applications in the African market. We had to Identify and implement changes to the existing manufacturing facilities in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to dramatically improve factory output and product quality.

Iraq

This was a design project carried out in the UK to develop a low cost housing solution for a UK manufacturer with a partner in Iraq. The product design was based on a factory manufactured panel system that could be produced in a relatively simple manner in Iraq with limited investment in manufacturing plant and equipment. The housing product was developed so that site work was limited to crane erection and connection to mains utilities.

China – Beijing & Shanghai

Mtech consulted on the set up of a bathroom and kitchen pod manufacturing capability within existing Chinese manufacturing businesses who wished to export into European markets. The product design was based on UK and European standards and detailing. Factory designs together with plant and equipment specifications were developed for implementation by the existing factory owners. Mtech Consult provided a mentoring resource throughout the entire implementation and commissioning period including initial pilot production.

Russia - St Petersburg

We helped establish a series of licensee bathroom pod and room module manufacturers to produce product for the residential market across the Soviet Union and the former Soviet block countries. It was envisaged that there would be up to 20 No. satellite licensee manufacturers creating a resource for the main licensee who would be responsible for marketing and contracting the service to the Russian construction market. Our role was to ensure that each licensee is correctly established as a high quality, efficient manufacturer of the required range of products and was integrated appropriately into the licensor's supply chain.

Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur

Mtech Consult was responsible for helping the Malaysian government identify how they could encourage the greater uptake and use of industrialised building systems. Mtech reviewed the market, available product and manufacturing techniques to recommend appropriate offsite technologies that could be developed and manufactured within existing production facilities.

United States & Germany

A $7 billion turnover client engaged Mtech to provide an overview of Offsite and MMC technologies that were available in the UK. The client was hosted for two days during which time they visited a volumetric modular manufacturer and two recently completed nursing home projects. They also met with an offsite M & E manufacturer, who demonstrated how they had been able to complete a hospital project six months ahead of schedule, and then Birmingham Royal Orthopaedic hospital provided an example of how offsite technology stands up after four years hard use.
