MEET OUR TEAM - David Johnson, UK Pre-construction Director

 He brings broad experience of the offsite sector to his role as well as a deep understanding of construction across multiple sectors. His career has included leading the pre-construction phases of negotiated, competitive, and framework projects for Kier Group for more than a decade.

His position at VBC involves the management of major offsite projects in the residential and hotel sectors from inception through to contract award stage. He works closely with developers, public and private sector construction clients, and contractors in the UK and mainland Europe to develop innovative technical solutions using VBC’s advanced offsite technologies.

Commenting on his role, David says, “There is no doubt the current economic environment is a challenging one globally, but I am thoroughly enjoying the fresh thinking and the open, collaborative ethos and can-do attitude that is at the heart of the VBC business.”

“VBC has a dynamic technology-led approach which is vertically integrated – from design to offsite manufacturing, furniture manufacture, offsite fitout, and building installation. Our aim is to help to address the chronic undersupply of housing globally and to radically improve the quality and productivity of construction through industrialisation.”

“Our customers benefit from our global experience which brings a much wider range of technical solutions to suit different projects and market sectors.”

Headquartered in Philadelphia, VBC is one of the world’s largest modular businesses. In the UK, VBC specialises in innovative steel-framed offsite solutions for the build-to-rent, affordable housing, student accommodation, and hotel sectors. Its approach to construction is highly efficient, cost-effective, faster, and has significantly less environmental impact than in-situ construction.
