What is Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV)?
Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) is a measure of how much of a building’s construction is delivered through offsite, pre-manufactured solutions rather than traditional onsite methods.
Â
The higher the PMV, the greater the proportion of value created before materials and components reach site, through precision engineering, factory-controlled processes, and efficient assembly.
Â
For housing providers, funders, and local authorities, PMV is increasingly important because it provides a transparent way of measuring efficiency, quality, and sustainability across projects.
PMV and affordable housing funding criteria
Affordable housing providers are increasingly required to demonstrate a minimum level of Pre-Manufactured Value to secure government funding and meet Homes England’s MMC framework requirements.
By adopting our Sigma closed panel timber systems, housing associations and local authorities can:
Achieve PMV targets that qualify projects for funding.
Reduce programme times to deliver much-needed homes more quickly.
Meet sustainability goals with timber’s low carbon footprint.
Improve building performance to support residents with lower running costs.
Working with us, affordable housing providers gain not only a route to funding but also long-term value for communities — through sustainable, high-quality, and cost-effective homes.
Why partner with us for PMV and offsite solutions?
For more than 50 years, Donaldson Timber Systems has led the way in modern methods of construction. Our expertise in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) ensures every project maximises PMV while delivering certainty of programme, quality, performance and sustainability.
Whether you’re a housing association, local authority, or developer, we can help you to design and deliver homes that meet funding criteria and exceed expectations.
