Q. What makes Great British Construction unique in the housing delivery market?

Great British Construction transforms unviable housing schemes into deliverable developments through our innovative supply chain model. By combining innovative manufacturing capabilities with UK construction standards, we significantly reduce costs while maintaining quality. Our approach is backed by performance guarantee bonds and brings together international expertise in modern methods of construction with design optimisation to maximise efficiency, creating a unique pathway to unlock challenging sites.

Q. How does Great British Construction's supply chain model work?

Our model integrates innovative manufacturing capabilities with rigorous UK standards through a carefully structured supply chain. Working with world-leading partners City Rivergate, Arcadis and others, we ensure quality through SGS validation – the world’s leading testing and certification company. All products are pre-approved for UK installation, combining international efficiencies with local expertise to deliver cost-effective, high-quality developments.

Q. How do you maintain quality standards across international supply chains?

Quality assurance sits at the heart of our operation. Every component undergoes SGS validation and meets UK and European standards. Our performance guarantee bonds provide additional security, while comprehensive quality control procedures and consortium oversight ensure consistent standards across all our developments.

Q. What challenges do Local Authorities face in housing delivery?

Local authorities face multiple barriers in delivering new homes, from funding constraints to market pressures. Many councils struggle with limited capital support and policy uncertainty, while facing high land costs and skills shortages, while having to balance commercial returns with social objectives. We understand these challenges and structure our partnerships to address them directly.

Q. What construction methods do you employ?

We employ a flexible mix of modern construction methods, combining modular elements and off-site manufacturing where appropriate. Our expertise in steel frame construction and innovative façade solutions enables efficient delivery while maintaining quality. Design standardisation principles help optimise costs without compromising architectural standards.

Q. How do you make unviable sites viable?

Our approach combines several key elements to unlock challenging sites. Through our supply chain, we achieve significant cost reductions of between 10% – 15%, while maintaining the highest standard of quality. Design optimisation and standardisation improve efficiency, while modern methods of construction speed up delivery. Our integrated procurement processes ensure value at every stage.

Q. Can you deliver across different scales of development?

We specialise in projects up to 15 storeys, focusing on schemes that complement local character rather than large-scale regeneration. Our model is highly adaptable, using standardised designs and modular elements alongside traditional methods we can deliver large schemes and small schemes. This flexibility allows us to maintain efficiency across different project scales while meeting local needs.

Q. What impact does your model have on local employment?

Our approach creates new job opportunities rather than replacing existing jobs. By unlocking previously unviable sites, we generate new construction jobs and support skills development through apprenticeships that may otherwise have not been created. Our international expertise complements local knowledge, focusing on these sites that wouldn’t otherwise be developed, bringing new investment and employment to areas that need it most.
