Why FixFirm is the favoured off-site modular procurement supplier.

What is modular construction?

In modular construction, one of the key factors to success is to ensure that productivity is maintained at a high level from one project to the next. Any delays or issues that slow down the project will inevitably lead to escalating costs and missed deadlines.

The modular industry is growing rapidly, as more developers are recognising the key benefits of modular build compared to traditional onsite construction. Studies have revealed that 41% of building professionals lowered the cost of their project by 6% or more and waste was reduced by around 90%. 

With this rapid growth in demand for modular build, construction companies must be ready to deliver projects as quickly as possible, without compromising quality. Innovative products and smart ways of working are integral in achieving this.

At FixFirm we understand the challenges that modular construction companies face, and our products and services have been designed specifically to resolve the common issues that hold modular construction projects up. Our processes are all aligned to the objectives of enabling enhanced productivity. 

Formidable processing

Just in Time (JIT) is a production process which refers to the principle of delivering products to customers as close as possible to the time they are required. Through an inventory management system, JIT drives efficiencies and minimises waste, as well as reducing storage costs.

Working to the JIT approach delivers many top benefits to construction companies. In addition to the cost savings due to not requiring storage, transportation costs can also be significantly reduced. 

By minimising wastage, companies are able to work in an eco-friendlier way, which will become increasingly important to meet sustainability targets.  

How SlickStock streamlines your productivity.

Ordering materials can be a laborious task, especially if the ordering system is not very user-friendly. FixFirm provides a bespoke procurement service for modular projects that takes away the stresses of ordering supplies to make procurement as streamlined and easy as possible. 

What is SlickStock?

SlickStock is our very own bespoke stock management system, enabling businesses to achieve;

• An increased working efficiency
• Improved productivity
• Cost efficiency

FixFirm introduced SlickStock, with the intention to streamline the procurement process with a proactive service to meet our client’s needs. The system is also designed as an eco-conscious service allowing clients to outsource their procurement requirements to a sustainable supplier. The key benefits of doing so are to boost productivity and to reduce the admin fees incurred by the time taken to process purchases and the other admin tasks.

As part of the SlickStock method, FixFirm updates supply requirements on a weekly basis to ensure that stock levels are always adequate and are not affected by fluctuating demand. Through improved management of stock levels and supplier logistics for delivering materials at the most cost-effective time for clients, i.e. just before the materials are required, productivity levels are increased, with no waiting for materials.
