INNOVATE, DESIGN and BUILD

'As a developing industry the offsite sector requires different skills and knowledge to traditional construction – the designs, processes and analytical models are different to those widely used across the industry. MOBIE has the opportunity to address this challenge and provide highly trained, inspired professionals that the offsite manufacturing industry needs to transition to a sustainable mainstream construction delivery method.'

'To address the housing crisis in this country we need to think differently about how we design, construct and deliver new homes. As a founding supporter of MOBIE we believe that Teesside University’s advanced home construction courses help equip the next generation with the skills major employers are looking for. These courses don’t just focus on how we construct homes but the crucial role that housing plays in all our lives.'

David Cowans
Chief executive, Places for People

'Timing is everything: the advanced home construction courses perfectly reflect the transformation towards digital technology and offsite construction. These pioneering and innovative courses enable students to develop the collaborative skills essential for success in the digital environment.'

'The UK homebuilding industry doesn't innovate at the level of technology companies or car manufacturers. There isn't the level of research and development needed to create homes fit for 21st-century living. Combine this with the massive industry skills shortage and you realise it’s time for change. George Clarke’s innovative advanced home construction courses are vital in creating the new talent that Urban Splash needs to recruit and help revolutionise the way we design, build and manufacture homes in Britain. Well done George Clarke.'
