RCL Group has established a prefabricated housing capability through its business TMC3.
TMC3 works with 3D precast concrete panels, rather than traditional 2D precast panels. These 3D modules are then stacked vertically and horizontally to form the super structure of the house, with internal and external cladding to fit off the home in the normal way a home is constructed.
TMC3 works exclusively with RCL to provide a vertically integrated turnkey townhouse and apartment solution on a portion of selected RCL projects.
The use of 3D modules gives each TMC3home a high thermal mass, resulting in superior energy efficiency. Most homes achieve an impressive 7.5-star energy rating, well above the minimum 6-star requirement.
Each module is a load-bearing structure, minimising the need for custom engineering solutions and reducing reliance on multiple specialised trades on site.
TMC3 significantly reduces on-site time and minimises the risk of delays from adverse weather. This approach accelerates the lock-up stage, ensuring that weather and site conditions have minimal impact on productivity.
The structural strength of each module means that internal stud walls do not have to be constructed using structural grade timbers/steel.
