Developers, multi-residential and volume builders
Delivered to program, across the whole project
Structural design, project planning and forward procurement taken as one scope — so a run of starts holds its dates and its price.
Why the timing decides the value
The frame is a small line that decides most of the others
A car maker positions the engine, transmission and suspension before the body is drawn, because those decisions govern everything that follows. A building’s structure does the same work — and is usually bought last.
The integrated scope below only exists if we are in before the consultant packages are let separately. Once three appointments are made, the saving has already been spent.
One scope, three parts
What gets integrated
Taken together these remove a consultant scope, a coordination loop, and a procurement risk. Taken separately they are three invoices that partly repeat each other.
- Structural designFoundations, slab, structural steel, frame and truss design resolved as one package rather than let piece by piece to parties who each re-derive what the last already knew.
- Project planningSequencing, delivery staging and site logistics planned against your program, not against our production schedule.
- Forward procurementSupply and factory capacity committed ahead of program, so a run of townhouses or a year of lowset starts is not stalled waiting on a frame or repriced mid-program.
The scope, exactly
In-house engineering, and the documentation a certifier needs
We produce every document a certifier requires to approve the frame and truss component of the build. Our engineering is in-house — not outsourced, not coordinated through a third party.
That documentation carries straight into your planning and building approval submissions. It does not replace your certifier and it is not a planning service: it removes the separate structural engineering scope for the framing component, and with it the coordination loop between that consultant and the frame supplier, because they are the same party.
The practical effect on a project is fewer appointments, fewer seams between them, and fewer places for something to be missed and re-engineered later at somebody’s cost.
What it is worth
Program is where the money actually goes
On a single house, a week is an inconvenience. Across a project it is holding costs, finance costs and settlement timing — which is why “delivered to program” is the outcome we design for rather than a rate on a frame.
- Fewer consultant appointmentsOne structural scope instead of a package split across parties with overlapping edges.
- Fewer variationsClashes and buildability issues closed out as drawing revisions, not site instructions.
- Repeatability across the jobA resolved unit type is resolved once and repeated, rather than re-solved on every build.
- Price and supply heldCapacity committed forward, so the program is not exposed to a mid-run reprice.
Where this applies
Volume project homes
Lowset and two-storey starts repeated across many sites, where a resolved standard type compounds across every build that follows it.
See the work →
Multi-residential and townhouses
Multi-level developments where structural coordination across repeated units is what decides whether the program holds.
See the work →
Modular manufacturers
Volume frame supply to a production line, delivered in the sequence the line consumes it rather than the order the truck was packed.

If the drawings are already finished we can still supply, and supply well. But the value described on this page is largely gone by then, and we would rather tell you that than take the job and imply otherwise.
