Overview

Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) measurement is increasingly required by housing associations and Homes England as a condition of funding, but many developers lack the expertise to calculate it accurately or use it to inform design decisions.

Akerlof has supported a broad range of residential developers to embed PMV assessment into their project workflows, working across a mix of scheme sizes and typologies.

What we did

We calculated PMV across a portfolio of housing developments, ranging from smaller schemes through to larger developments of upto 150 homes. Working for developers delivering on behalf of housing associations, we provided independent PMV assessments aligned with the MHCLG definition framework.

Beyond the numbers, we helped project teams understand what drives PMV, where opportunities exist to increase offsite content, and how to present findings to funding bodies and housing association clients.

The impact

  • Enabled developers to demonstrate PMV compliance to housing association and Homes England requirements
  • Built internal capability to identify MMC opportunities earlier in the design process
  • Provided consistent methodology across multiple schemes, supporting benchmarking and continuous improvement
  • Enhanced confidence in PMV reporting for funding applications

Don't just take our word for it...

Construction is in John’s blood. Learning from his father who was a planner and project manager, John began his career by working on some iconic projects in both the public and private sector.

As a procurement expert and integrator of new ways of working, John has pioneered the integration of platform principles, DfMA processes and supply chain within over £5bn projects in the last 15 years, for some of the largest building programmes in the UK. Despite his considerable expertise, John keeps it simple, communicating complicated ideas with ease and helping to equip the industry with new knowledge and skills.

Outside of Akerlof, John enjoys his executive role with technology start-up ScanTech Digital, spending time with his family, taking trips down the football, playing a bit of golf with friends and the odd pint. 

Our name is shared with George Akerlof, a Nobel Prize-winning economist.

His seminal paper, Market for Lemons, demonstrated the devastating consequences of making decisions under the conditions of quality uncertainty and unequal information between buyers and sellers, increasing the chance of buyers ending up with a ‘lemon’.

This 50-year-old concept continues to retain parallels within the construction industry.

Through our insight and experience, we can rebalance this information asymmetry on behalf of our clients, levelling the playing field to deliver better outcomes.
