PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT · MODULAR & OFFSITE MANUFACTURING

The Winners & Losers Modular Construction Framework

Same market, same shocks. Why do some modular manufacturers protect margin and cash — while others fail?


Developed by Vietti Advisory from six years of audited accounts across Europe, the Winners & Losers Framework is the benchmark at the core of how we assess company performance. It has already shaped the advice we give to manufacturers, investors and buyers.

THE ROADMAP OF FAILURE

Timeline of modular manufacturer failures in Europe from 2018 to 2025, set against external shocks: Brexit, COVID-19, energy and inflation, and rising rates.

We read the administration reports so you don't repeat the mistakes.

European modular manufacturers that went into administration or closed their factories, analysed through administrators' reports, filings and public records — together accounting for more than £1bn of value lost.
