80 | Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 Founded in 2018, Stelling Properties is one of the UK’s leading volumetric construction companies. The Stelling Properties Group was originally a property developer which discovered that traditional construction continually failed to meet certain needs and expectations, which led to a move to modular construction. This produced variable results and did not fully meet the Stelling Properties Group’s expectations in terms of quality, project cost certainty and delivery times. The group recognised the potential of volumetric construction and took the courageous decision to invest in creating a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. To support the development of the manufacturing facility, Stelling Properties has invested in building an industry leading team that can provide expertise at every stage of a project from, land acquisition, design and planning, manufacture, construction, and service and management. “The unusual route that Stelling Properties has taken from being a client to transition to becoming a supplier provides a unique perspective and insight into understanding the clients’ pain points,” further explains Tim Page. “This has allowed the team at Stelling Properties to develop products and processes which ensure they deliver the best quality product and client experience.” Delivering the best quality product and working collaboratively with clients sits in the very heart of the Stelling Properties activities, and there is a relentless pursuit to continually find ways of delivering improvements that will provide clients with a better building and hassle-free project – delivered on time and within their budget. To ensure that delivering improvements is a key focus for Stelling Properties, the core values of the company focus around innovation, quality, being collaborative, and being authoritative. There are also several key ways in which Stelling Properties has positioned itself to differentiate from competitors. Firstly, the unique way in which Stelling Properties transitioned from client to supplier gives an enhanced level of insight and understanding of the clients’ needs, and has allowed for the development of both product and processes that deliver the best client experience and the high quality sustainable buildings that they expect. Another important way in which Stelling Properties differs from its competitors is by providing a full ‘turnkey solution’ which allows the firm to take an advanced, flexible, and cooperative approach. It works as a trusted partner to contractors, developers, and property asset management companies in the design, building and management of modular construction projects. “One of the key areas which differ for modular construction is the need for early design input and sign off,” elaborates Tim. “By having design, manufacture, and construction teams in-house, Stelling Properties can greatly improve the communication flow and identify any potential areas of concern resulting in them being designed out of the project at the earliest possible stage in the project.” Currently, the construction industry is facing a number of challenges, including an aging and declining workforce, a stagnation in productivity, as well as the ongoing health and safety concerns. Modular construction can provide a solution to all of these issues and, as a result, is becoming an increasingly important solution within the industry. “Modular construction currently accounts for around 6% of the UK Construction industry and it is forecast to grow to over 25% within the next 5 years. One of the key areas where modular construction is forecast to grow is in Jul22592 Best Modular Manufacturing Services Company – South East the provision of housing. In particular, we are seeing a trend of modular construction being used in for the construction of apartment blocks in city centre locations – as modular results in a reduced on-site project time meaning less disruption to the neighbourhood, and a reduced need for onsite storage and onsite personnel.” Being driven to find ways to improve its services and offering, Stelling Properties has developed a strong sense of individual ownership across the team, with everybody wanting to ensure that the customer has the best experience possible and receives a product that delivers on their expectations. It is due to this tenacity and an internal culture of determination that the firm was recently bestowed with the prestigious title of Best Modular Manufacturing Services Company – South East in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2022. With major plans in the pipeline, to improve manufacturing processes, it seems that the future of modular construction is looking very vivid indeed for Stelling Properties.
