Through a collaborative, six-stage process, we help you design the best solution for your programme, minimise coordination challenges on-site, and ensure your prefabricated utility units are delivered without issues – ready to fit seamlessly into your project.
Here’s how it works…
1. Initial consultation
Every project starts with a conversation.
We take the time to understand your development, services strategy, and layout requirements. Whether you’re still at the concept stage or already progressing through technical design, we’ll help you find the most optimal route forward.
We’ll discuss:
- Spatial constraints and compliance requirements
- M&E systems integration (heating, ventilation, metering, electrical, telecoms)
- Programme and sequencing considerations
- Standardised vs bespoke configuration needs
Our focus is simple: identify potential challenges early and engineer them out before they reach the site.
2. Design and specification
Starting from proven, standardised designs, we configure a limited number of utility room types to suit even complex projects with multiple apartment layouts.
Working closely with your team, we will:
- Confirm all layouts and access zones
- Coordinate pipework and electrical routing
- Integrate manufacturer requirements
- Support compliance with relevant regulations (including Part M & G3)
Through careful planning and iterative design, we help you overcome spatial constraints, ensure consistent M&E excellence, and account for the long-term serviceability of your units. Every detail is agreed before manufacturing begins, ensuring project clarity and avoiding costly changes later.
3. Benchmark review and sign-off
Before production starts, you’ll get the chance to see a prototype based on the drawings you have previously signed off.
Guided by our expert Preconstruction Team, this in-person benchmark review ensures the unit aligns precisely with your approved specs, spatial allowances, and service requirements.
After this final review, your units can move into manufacture with complete confidence. The prototype will be kept as a “golden unit” that is continually referenced to benchmark quality throughout the process – ensuring full transparency and technical alignment with your programme.
4. Factory build and quality testing
Each utility room is precision-engineered in our Gloucester manufacturing facility. Working within a controlled environment, our team:
- Assembles all mechanical and electrical components
- Uses in-house CNC machining for precise panel cutting
- Minimises joints with CNC pipe bending
- Conducts multi-stage quality assurance checks
- Fully tests systems before dispatch
By planning early and building offsite, we eliminate onsite coordination clashes, reduce snagging and ensure consistent quality across every unit.
5. Delivery to site
Our cupboards are delivered ready to install, aligned with your construction programme.
The plug-and-play design simplifies installation and minimises the headaches of complex labour coordination: just position each unit within its designated area and connect the M&E services.
No repeated trade visits required. Just efficient, predictable installation.
6. Handover and ongoing support
Support doesn’t end with the delivery of our units. You’ll receive:
- Full digital QA documentation
- Quality passports with photos and test certificates
- Unique serial numbers for full traceability of every part
- All necessary operation and maintenance information
And if further technical support is required, our team remains available to assist.
