The Preform Process
A considered process from brief to completed building.
Every Preform project begins with an understanding of the building's purpose, site and required specification. From there, the design is developed, manufactured in controlled conditions and prepared for delivery and installation.
01
Project Brief
Understand the requirement
We review your proposed use, preferred dimensions, site conditions, accommodation needs, appearance and required performance.
02
Design Development
Configure the building
The layout, structure, openings, internal arrangement and external finishes are developed around the project brief.
03
Controlled Production
Manufacture with precision
Building components are produced in controlled factory conditions to support consistency, coordination and efficient quality management.
04
Delivery and Assembly
Complete the project
The prepared building system is delivered to site for coordinated assembly, installation and completion in line with the agreed project scope.
Every project is different. The exact design, manufacturing, delivery and installation process will depend on the building specification, site and services required.
Why Choose Preform
A building system designed for greater flexibility.
Preform combines adaptable design with controlled manufacturing to create buildings that can respond to different sites, uses and architectural requirements. Each project can be configured around the space, appearance and level of specification required.
Discuss Your Requirements
01
Configurable design
Dimensions, layouts, openings and internal arrangements can be developed around the intended use of the building rather than forcing the project into a fixed standard format.
02
Controlled manufacturing
Components are prepared in controlled production conditions, supporting coordinated construction, consistent detailing and efficient quality management before delivery to site.
03
Architectural choice
A range of external finishes, colours, window positions and architectural details can be considered to create a building that suits its setting and reflects the intended appearance.
04
Coordinated delivery
Design, manufacture and site delivery are considered as part of one coordinated process, helping each stage of the project progress in line with the agreed building scope.
05
Multiple applications
The system can be considered for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, specialist and residential buildings with different spatial and operational requirements.
Project-led
Designed around the brief
Adaptable
Flexible layouts and finishes
Coordinated
From design through to site
Specification and Customisation
Configured around the way your building needs to work.
A Preform building can be developed around the intended use, architectural appearance and required internal environment. The final specification is considered as part of the complete project rather than treated as a collection of standard additions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to know before starting your Preform project.
Every building project has different requirements. These answers provide an introduction to the Preform system, available options and the information that helps the team understand your proposed building.
Cannot find the answer you need?
Speak with the Custom Buildings team about your site, preferred layout, building use and specification.
Ask the Project Team01 What is a Preform building?
A Preform building is a prefabricated building solution developed around an agreed project brief. Its layout, appearance, internal arrangement and technical specification can be configured for commercial, specialist or residential use.
02 Are Preform buildings available in standard sizes?
Building dimensions are considered in relation to the intended use, site and chosen configuration. The team can discuss appropriate dimensions after reviewing your required accommodation, access and operational needs.
03 Can I customise the internal layout?
Internal layouts can be developed around the way the building needs to function. This may include rooms, circulation areas, offices, welfare spaces, kitchens, storage and areas for specialist equipment.
04 What exterior finishes are available?
External appearance can be considered during design development. Options may include different cladding materials, colours, window arrangements, entrance details and elevation treatments, depending on the building and project scope.
05 Do I need planning permission?
Planning requirements depend on the location, intended use, size and circumstances of the project. Appropriate advice should be obtained for the specific site before work proceeds.
06 How long does a Preform project take?
Timescales vary according to the size and complexity of the building, design development, approvals, manufacturing requirements, site readiness and installation scope. An indicative programme can be discussed once the project brief is understood.
07 What information is needed for an initial enquiry?
Helpful information includes the intended building use, approximate dimensions, preferred room layout, site location, required finishes, services and any known programme or access considerations.
