The Seismic Group's mission is clear: to empower individuals to make informed decisions, enhance processes, and unlock value by seamlessly integrating modern MMC and cutting-edge digital technologies using the open Seismic Platform®.
We help clients use offsite manufactured solutions and sub-assemblies while promoting standardised design practices and fostering maximum interoperability. The aim is a more efficient and interconnected industry that spans onsite and offsite manufacturing options.
In line with government guidance and policy, the Seismic Platform® has been developed to drive a major shift towards a more productive, better quality and lower carbon construction industry.
In line with government guidance and policy, the Seismic platform has been developed to drive a major shift towards a more productive, better quality and lower carbon construction industry.
The Seismic Platform® is a physical cross-sector construction platform using the latest in digital and manufacturing technologies and facilitates the design, procurement, manufacture, and construction/assembly of buildings.
It took ten years and £30m to develop, and it is currently the only Platform that meets all eight requirements of a platform as set out by the government in the Construction Playbook.
The Seismic Group led the team that developed the Platform, which provides unlimited configuration to enable the efficient construction of any building regardless of type or use. You can read more about the fundamentals of platforms and where The Seismic Platform® fits in in the Product Platform Rulebook. It uses standardised and interoperable components and assemblies, the requirements for which are part of a component catalogue.
In line with Government guidance/policy and public sector procurement frameworks which are now mandating platform construction for efficiency and carbon reduction, the Seismic Platform® is the only one of its kind that meets all eight of the government rules and policies defining a platform. It can therefore assist you to develop a robust supply chain whilst future-proofing the construction industry.
The Seismic Group will help you understand how the Platform fits into your overall offering and how to implement the Platform seamlessly.
Richard Crosby, Director,
Richard is recognised as an industry leading evangelist for production led construction process techniques, over the last nine years he has instigated and led the pioneering an industry changing project to develop a physical product platform for the construction industry.
Richard has set up The Seismic Group to make the Seismic Platform® available to the whole industry and to use it to facilitate industry wide collaboration with a view to improving the production of buildings.
The Seismic Platform® is already being used to build education and residential buildings for clients that want to use MMC but don’t want the risk of being limited to one supplier. Richard has advised government departments on Modern Methods of construction. He is also a director of the Offsite Alliance promoting MMC / DFMA across all sectors.
Craig Dolderson, Director.
Craig started his career as a quantity surveyor and still holds his professional qualifications (ARICS) to this day. However, over the intervening years, his career path has diverged from its initial surveying roots.
Throughout his career, Craig has assumed significant leadership roles within various global construction and infrastructure organisations and, as a result, has extensive international business knowledge to complement that closer to home. In these capacities, he has exerted direct influence over their strategic directions, spearheaded operational improvements, and redefined processes to yield superior results while bolstering the bottom line.
Today, as a partner at Seismic Group, Craig's motivation is relatively straightforward: he aims to champion Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and broaden its adoption and comprehension across the construction industry. In his perspective, it all boils down to spreading the 'word' and ensuring that the industry recognises MMC platforms' potential and the promising future of the market-ready Seismic Platform.
Leveraging his wealth of expertise in construction, commercial and project delivery, he helps guide his clients to capitalise on the myriad of benefits offered by MMC fully.
