Modulous launches new residential development software platform
Modulous, the modular technologies company have launched a new software platform TESSA which produces feasibility studies for multi-family homes in minutes, which the company says provides certainty about what can be built on any given plot of land, and how much it will cost.
Once briefing requirements including unit mix are input, the software generates optimised Design Options in real-time, each of which is compliant with building regulations and supported by accurate engineering and cost data. The Design Options can be explored, compared, saved, and exported to Revit or PDF to be shared with other consultants and stakeholders.
Outputs produced include optimised massing for a given site; detailed internal layouts, including area schedules and 3D visualisations; floorplans; scope A1-A3 embodied carbon calculations; and a detailed cost plan.
Modulous chief executive officer Chris Bone said
’’TESSA is a game-changer for public and private sector landowners and developers, enabling them to test residential feasibility on any site with unprecedented speed and simplicity, and providing cost certainty from Day One. It has the potential to unlock sites right across the UK to address the housing shortfall that’s now at crisis point.’’
Technical accuracy is possible because designs are based on the Modulous proprietary Kit of Parts, a high-performance modular housing system that is manufactured by its supply chain partners. The Kit of Parts has a digital twin within TESSA which is used to create standardised units. These are in turn aggregated by the software’s algorithms to generate design solutions that meet brief requirements.
Enriched by high quality data and analytics, TESSA will the company say speed up processes, minimises risk and improve accuracy. As part of the platform design multiple options can be evaluated simultaneously, at a fraction of the cost of deploying a consultant team.
