At Stelling Properties, we are committed to leading the way in offsite construction and modular residential development. A key example of this commitment is the Award Winning Stelling Properties Building Configurator, developed in collaboration with Aalter.ai, which is helping to transform how modular buildings are designed and delivered.
The Configurator is a powerful digital design tool that streamlines every stage of modular construction. By automating critical early design workflows, it enables faster, smarter, and more cost-effective project development. From the very start, it generates accurate 3D site contexts based on UK postcode data and analyses land use, street hierarchies, and building heights. This ensures designs are tailored to the unique characteristics of each site, supporting better decision making from day one.
With parametric design capabilities and modules aligned to our product specifications, the Configurator optimises layouts to maximise land value and efficiency. It ensures consistency across every design iteration, integrates fire safety requirements into circulation core planning, and supports sustainable outcomes through solar analysis.
One of the most innovative features is the integration of generative AI, which produces high-quality visualisations in seconds. This accelerates design iterations, improves collaboration across project teams, and provides clear, engaging options for client presentations. Designs can then be seamlessly exported into BIM software such as Revit, alongside automated CAD drawings, bills of materials, and schedules of accommodation. This smooth transition from concept to construction documentation reduces errors, saves time, and improves overall project delivery.
By combining automation, real-time data, and AI-driven optimisation, the Configurator empowers us to deliver modular construction projects more efficiently, with greater precision and importantly maximised sustainability.
This innovation demonstrates Stelling Properties’ ongoing commitment to digital transformation and offsite excellence, setting new benchmarks for speed, accuracy, and quality in the delivery of large-scale modular developments.
