Better building technologies
Perhaps the single greatest advantage of prefabricated construction systems has over traditional construction is speed - up to 35% faster build times - with no sacrifices in quality. Taking ESG into account, prefabrication confers further benefits thanks to fewer workplace injuries and less material waste. Prefab systems address the full spectrum of ESG issues, from embodied carbon to quality to health and safety.
At the design and construction stages, the best digital technologies are used to optimise an advanced integrated design process for quality control.
Mass timber
Our team is able to realise mass timber at cost parity to concrete.
Mass timber buildings offer significant advantages to investors/owners and constitute the best choice for several reasons.
Higher Rents: Owing to the beauty of exposed wood, mass timber buildings generate a premium in residential and office rents.
Faster Build: Assembly is accelerated, and the developer enjoys a faster return on investment since their investment begins to generate lease revenue much earlier than traditional construction methods.
Less Risk: As engineered panels, they enable greater precision in both design and construction; error rates drop significantly.
Healthy Occupants: Office tenants report having fewer absences and lower staff turnover.
Greenest Option: Sourced only from sustainable forests, mass timber is essentially sequestered CO2, allowing us to go beyond carbon neutral. Sustainable timber means it complies to environmental certification.
Code Compliant: Tall mass timber buildings have been erected in Canada, USA, Norway, Austria, England, Japan, Sweden and Germany.
Worldwide, there has been a growing appreciation for mass timber. By leveraging its architectural and aesthetic advantages, mass timber provides the most compelling option when pursuing net zero real estate. Whether for residential, institutional or commercial applications, MVPR has the expertise with mass timber and benefits from close ties with the leading global suppliers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Project optimisation and sustainability
Mass timber builds, on account of their pre-fabricated elements, help optimise the speed and quality of a project. This provides better assurances for scheduling and reduces risk associated with delays. As a natural product that sequesters carbon, mass timber is the most sustainable building material available and enhances the ability to achieve any net-zero, energy positive, BOMA, LEED, Passivhaus, Minergie, 2000 watt society, or other performance standard.
