← About
High-speed, robotic MMC build.
Our own manufacturing platform that turns design into precision-built components and modules: automated, digitally governed and ready to scale.
From design to install
Total traceability, from design to assembly.
Data follows each component from digital design to on-site installation, so what is designed is what gets built. Exact, controlled information travels all the way to site.
One shared digital model for every discipline.
Every project starts in a single collaborative BIM model. Architects, structural engineers and services designers all work on the same model, built in the open IFC standard and tailored to the group's own building components, so everyone is always looking at the latest version.
Each country has its own Technical Office that designs and calculates projects in the GIP software. Because the model already knows the component system, designs are buildable in the factory from the first sketch, not redesigned for manufacture afterwards.
What it controls: A single, shared digital model across all disciplines
- Architectural design
Layouts and elevations drawn with the group's own library of panels, pods and modules.
- Engineering and calculation
Structural and services engineering in licensed software adapted to the GIP system.
- Clash detection
Automated design-collision and data checks find conflicts on screen, before anything is cut.
- Code compliance
Australian and Spanish building-code requirements built into the model.
- Design freeze
The coordinated design is locked and released to manufacturing.
- CAD/CAM generation
Machine files for cutting, forming and assembly created directly from the model.
- Factory nesting
Cutting plans optimised to get the most from every board and coil, minimising offcuts.
- Bills of materials and cost
Quantities and costs produced automatically from the design.
- Production scheduling
Components sequenced to the order the site will need them.
- AI assistance
AI agents draft plans, check data and build live dashboards for the team.
- Panel composition
Fibre-cement or gypsum-fibre boards bonded to an insulated core, then stacked ready for cutting.
- Robotic cutting
A robotic cell cuts, machines and labels each part from CAD/CAM instructions, separating waste automatically.
- Steel roll-forming
Light-steel-frame profiles formed, punched and cut to the engineering data, then sequenced.
- 2D assembly
Robotic positioning, then fixing, insulation, services and closure before each wall is raised upright.
- Finishing and 3D modules
Panels finished or assembled into modules and pods, ready for dispatch.
- Sequenced delivery
Stillages loaded in assembly order, matched to the site plan.
- Site readiness
Foundations, services and civils completed while the factory builds.
- Identified assembly
Barcode and QR codes confirm each component goes in the right place.
- Commissioning
Services connected, tested and signed off.
- Handover
Quality, compliance and warranty records handed to the owner and operator.
