The UK’s housebuilders are designing for the Future Homes Standard and bolstering their capacity, without the need for huge investment. See how our Dedicated Services are making it happen.
MiTek is working directly with the UK’s major housebuilders, who are outsourcing their design requirements to MiTek Services in direct response to the changes in regulation and legislation, bought about by the Future Homes Standard.
Anthony Mitchell, Head of Dedicated Services for the UK explains:
“The regulation changes have placed additional demands on housebuilders and their design teams. From planning designs and taking these right through to production, our designers are providing housebuilders with the extra support and Revit skills they need to turn designs around quickly, push projects forward and reduce their time to market.”
With the planning process presenting its own unique challenges, the MiTek Services team is also helping with the design of 3D site plans, to facilitate positive planning outcomes.
It’s thanks to the extra resource and expertise that housebuilders have fully embraced this approach. Our customers say they particularly value the flexibility, and how designers can be scaled up, if you have a spike in demand. In a tough labour market, with cost pressures and in many cases a freeze on recruitment, the service is invaluable.
Precision designs are consistently delivered, and the level of Revit knowledge alongside the creation of library set-up addresses 3D design challenges head on, while developing the BIM environment.
Anthony adds: “Large corporates can be hesitant to outsource a step as crucial as design. But fears are quickly eased. The quality of output is exceptionally high, and clients can keep on delivering for customers, maintain productivity, and satisfy all their regulatory obligations.”
What can Dedicated Services do?
MiTek Services are helping housebuilders address 3D design challenges head on, while increasing capacity and improving efficiency, so that they can design, plan, construct, and develop their Revit resources and BIM environment.
Above all else, the service saves time. Implementing BIM in major organisations can take serious time, and productivity tends to suffer even with a phased approach. Now, housebuilders can access design talent, on-demand when they need it says MiTek’s Anthony:
“We spent a long time listening to what major housebuilders need to retain their advantage. The process has been built around satisfying those needs; feedback is streamlined, designs can be shared easily, everyone works effectively. Dedicated Services represents a powerful business tool, as well as a world-class design platform.”
We are currently using over 200 different software programmes and that list continues to grow.

Why is it so important in the current market?
The construction industry is ever-evolving, and finding and retaining staff to handle designing, estimating, drafting, and other technical services becomes expensive. Our Services team brings you a trained team member dedicated to your business at a fixed rate.
When you’re ready to expand your Services team, MiTek will handle the recruiting, training, and transition at no charge until the new team members are operational.
