We are a world leader in volumetric construction, using manufacturing excellence and digital technology to transform the way that buildings are delivered.
Vision volumetric schemes are fully accredited, ensuring they are fundable, mortgageable and insurable. The Vision system is covered by a 10-year structural warranty and assets incorporating the system have qualified for 12-year defect liability insurance.
Better for investors, better for developers, better for the people who build homes and the people who live in them.
We have delivered more than 20,000 volumetric units to date and are constantly pushing the boundaries of automated construction technology. The system has shaped some of the UK’s most iconic new architecture.
Vision has championed the use of volumetric construction in buildings greater than 100m tall, bringing offsite construction legitimately into the realm of skyscrapers.
World leading academic research has shown that we are surpassing industry bench marks by creating high-quality sustainable buildings, reducing embodied carbon, designing in line with circular economy principles, and enhancing factory recycling to almost 100%.
We have benefited from repeat business and forged a number of long-term strategic partnerships with global clients and institutional investors.
The Vision Volumetric System is the product of 20 years of research, alongside some of the world’s leading universities, academics and consultants. This extensive process has required significant investment and a culture of constantly challenging ourselves to go further.
Our system has gone through an array of demanding assessments to prove its robustness, including full-scale, two-hour fire testing. The external facade is fully non-combustible, and the load-bearing wall and concrete floors provide 120 minutes of fire resistance as standard. We work closely with key industry stakeholders and the BRE to demonstrate how safe the Vision system is.
Our buildings have been structurally designed with both the strength and lateral flexibility to cope with significant vibration. Seismic testing has demonstrated that they can withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake.
Our tall buildings undergo extensive wind tunnel testing to calculate the forces applied both to the concrete core during the temporary construction stage and to the completed structure.
Onsite, we examine differential movements of the cores and monitor the wind speeds at various levels using sensors. In all cases, global navigation satellite systems are used.
We are committed to ongoing measurement and analysis and have collaborated with academics from Cambridge, Heriot-Watt and Edinburgh Napier universities to calculate and verify the embodied carbon of recent schemes. These studies indicate that our projects can reduce embodied carbon by up to 50% compared to the industry standard.
The structure of the units has been rigorously tested to demonstrate its ability to create developments of 50 storeys or more. The system is the result of detailed analysis and understanding of material properties, tolerances, connections and column sizes and locations. This continues on site with careful monitoring of core strength and movement.
The system has been fully tested by the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology to ensure that all units are fully watertight on leaving the factory.
Tests show that, due to the units’ robust construction, they offer a 5dB improvement on building regulations (Approved Document E 2015).
Units have been developed in a variety of sizes to suit design requirements. For standard production rates, the preferred module limits are 4m wide, 10.6m wide and 2.8m high.

“Modern methods of construction are making quiet progress and have an essential role to play in solving the UK’s housing crisis.”
After a visit to Tide’s Walthamstow site, Bloomberg’s Opinion Columnist Matthew Brooker writes about the UK’s urgent need to transform the delivery of homes and how, despite recent challenges, volumetric modular construction is an obvious solution ease the housing crisis.
