JMB Modular Buildings is an Australian volumetric modular construction company based in Shepparton, Victoria. Over the past 15 years, they have evolved and changed from a conventional regional builder into an advanced industrial manufacturer. These days, they operate out of a high-tech production facility called Advanced Manufacturing Centre #1 (AMC1), which features an automotive-style moving production line with eight workstations, allowing their buildings to progress systematically through framing, services, interiors, and finishes – all under the safety of one roof. Using this innovative and industry-leading model, JMB’s goal is to deliver buildings that arrive on site more than 90 percent complete, compressing timelines, reducing risk, and demonstrating how modern methods of construction can deliver greater certainty around programme, quality, safety and productivity. James Briggs, the founder of JMB Modular Buildings, is a construction industry veteran who started his first company at 20 years old, not long after finishing his apprenticeship. He started by building traditional custom homes, but a passion for innovation soon led him to pursuing alternatives to conventional building methods. In 2015, he began investing heavily in modular construction, research and development, building systems, and advanced manufacturing. For several years, JMB Modular Buildings did a mix of modular and site-built projects, and their work took them all across Australia. By 2019, however, James was burnt out from the travel and the volume of work. To make matters worse, THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA
