What is Concision?
Concision builds homes differently and improves the build process in terms of speed and quality. It is a proven approach that has been used in Europe, Japan and North America for decades. Combining digital technology with manufacturing precision, Concision takes building designs and plans through a staged production operation within its Christchurch factory. This process is enabled by specialised, industry-leading Weinmann plant and equipment imported from Germany.
The Concision factory acts as a single location for most of the trades and processes involved in a building project. So the majority of construction work is undertaken in one place ensuring less waste in terms of time and materials, and the highest quality of construction output. Every element a perfect fit.
The Concision Process
1. Design
Once you have finalised your dream home with us, these comprehensive plans are forwarded to Concision.
2. Digitise
Designs are translated into digital files that run the Concision CNC machinery. Concision uses European software package Cadwork, designed specifically to support this machinery.
3. Measure
A high degree of accuracy in measurements (+-0.5mm) is achieved because the machinery used to produce all of the building elements is digitally controlled.
4. Cut
To ensure the integrity and accuracy of each element, all timber is cut on-site using a high-tech 5 axis CNC controlled saw. The saw operates virtually hands-free with automatic in-feed and out-feed features.
5. Insulate
Concision homes are insulated to the R value appropriate to your location. Because the insulation is installed to precise procedures and tolerances, maximum insulation benefits are always achieved.
6. Windows
Homes constructed with Concision technology use high quality aluminium framed double glazed windows of contemporary design, to ensure thermal and noise insulation standards are met and that weather tightness is never an issue.
7. Electrics
Throughout the production process, all electrical fitting locations are programmed into the CNC equipment. This allows for behind-the-wall electrical services to be installed accurately and efficiently within the factory.
8. Plumbing
All behind-the-wall plumbing requirements are installed in the factory. This ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the build are maintained. All plumbing is tested and approved before the element leaves the factory.
9. Transport
Wall, roof and floor elements are transported to site via a fleet of purpose-built trailers. This system has been specifically designed to give high freight efficiency and to ensure zero damage caused by freight issues.
10. Assembly
Because elements come to site completed and to exacting standards of accuracy, the assembly process is seamless, with each element fitting perfectly. Elements are joined with proven technology accepted by all Councils in New Zealand.
