Lean Construction

Redrow embraces the principles of lean construction by maximising the value delivered to the customer whilst minimising waste, improving production certainty for our suppliers and accelerating the construction process.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) – House designs have been developed in consultation with Framing Solutions, our steel frame supplier to optimise efficiencies made possible with the lightweight steel frame build system.
Waste streams from site are reported on in monthly Board documents to enable targeting reduction.
Redrow works with manufacturers to reduce or recycle waste and to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. Redrow has worked closely with British Gypsum to reduce the waste generated on site from plasterboard. On many of our sites, plasterboard is now delivered to site pre-cut to length and surplus board is available to be recycled.
Redrow manages the supply chain at all stages to streamline processes and to ensure appropriate products are built into our homes.
Redrow has embraced E-commerce through paper-less ordering and payment systems and also provide ‘just in time’ deliveries.
Redrow’s in-house Product Development Team is charged with enhancing our product to meet the needs of our customers and to identify opportunities to increase efficiency and reduce whole life costs.
