Overview
With UK government target of constructing 300,000 homes per annum against a backdrop of increasing construction costs, poor quality conventionally constructed homes and a huge construction skills shortage, the demand for innovative methods of construction has never been greater.
Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS) was developed to address concerns and perceived risks associated with innovative construction. Consequently, BOPAS is recognised by mortgage lenders as providing the necessary assurance that properties that are innovatively constructed or constructed using modern methods of construction (MMC) will be readily mortgageable for a minimum of 60 years.
Here you will find details of organisations that have been BOPAS accredited or progressing the accreditation process, their approved construction technologies, together with the accredited scopes of; design, manufacture, construction and /or project management.
