Driving Efficiency in Offsite Construction with Tremco CPG

Enhancing Offsite Manufacturing Efficiency Through Process-Led Collaboration

Offsite construction environments are precision-driven by nature. With defined takt times, strict sequencing, and pressure to maximise throughput, even marginal improvements in process efficiency can have a significant impact on productivity and cost. At Tremco CPG, our Offsite Solutions team partners with manufacturers to align high-performance building products with factory methodologies — helping streamline assembly while maintaining or improving critical envelope performance.

A Process-First Approach to Product Selection

Rather than simply supplying materials, Tremco CPG begins by mapping a customer’s manufacturing processes. This includes understanding:

• Key performance drivers (e.g., airtightness, fire performance, weathertightness)
• Factory sequencing and installation methodology
• Takt times and movement of sub-assemblies between stations

Armed with this insight, we assess our full product portfolio to identify systems that best align with the customer’s performance requirements and desired cycle time.

Where existing solutions fail to meet takt time requirements, we explore how our   systems are delivered and integrated within modular workflows.

Real-World Application: Pre-Assembled Window Integration

In a previous collaboration with Legal & General Modular Homes, our team supported the development of a fully pre-assembled window sub-assembly. This bespoke system included:

-          Complete airtight and weathertight detailing

-          Thermal insulation integration

-          Pre-applied sealing and bonding solutions

The window units were engineered to be fixed to the module at a single point within the production line, eliminating multiple products and processes across several stations. This not only improved quality and consistency but significantly accelerated module build time.

The Outcome: Throughput Gains and Net Cost Reduction

By reducing on-line handling, numerous product applications, and associated process times, the solution enabled faster overall production while maintaining cost reduction targets. The resulting increase in throughput delivered measurable reductions in net cost per module — proving the value of targeted process enhancements.
