This project is a 10-building residential complex for The Red Sea Development Company in Saudi Arabia, comprising 288 one or two bedroomed units of quality housing for management and office staff.
Nearly 75% of this project is designed, manufactured and assembled offsite in a controlled environment at a DuBox factory, before travelling by road to the Red Sea site. Each module is built in pre-cast concrete and is fully-constructed and fitted out, including all MEP, before reaching the site. Quality Assurance & Quality Control processes and inspections are completed in our production bays throughout the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality.
Offsite construction commenced before the site was ready and took place in parallel to site clearance and land filling works, saving the client 74 days of manufacturing production time. Numerous savings have been made; a 30% reduction in labour costs; a 50-90% reduction in overall waste and a 30% reduction in solid waste. The project will complete on budget and time in 11 months, 30% quicker than traditional construction, producing numerous environmental, HSE and economic benefits.
