Vision Modular Systems has won the prestigious “Excellence in Innovation” award at this year’s Awards of Distinction at the World of Modular Conference in San Antonio, Texas
Vision Modular Systems with its development and contracting company; Tide Construction has developed some of the world’s most groundbreaking volumetric, modular schemes such as the George Street skyscraper for Greystar in Croydon, London – currently the world’s tallest modular building.
Together, the two companies have delivered over 6.5 million sq. ft. of precision-manufactured developments.
Vision Modular Systems’ methods have also played a key role in decarbonising the construction industry. Its volumetric-led approach can reduce a project’s embodied carbon levels by up to 45%.
In recognition of its achievements, Vision Modular Systems was represented by its founder and chairman John Fleming, who received the prestigious “Excellence in Innovation” award at this year’s Awards of Distinction at the World of Modular Conference.
‘Strong track record of revolutionising the way in which housing is delivered’
John Fleming, founder and chairman of Vision Modular Systems, said: “This award recognises Vision Modular’s sector-leading position in the UK, where we have a strong track record of revolutionising the way in which housing is delivered.
“Years of significant growth, in terms of our pipeline and financial strength, is demonstrated through our long-standing partnerships with some of the world’s biggest institutional purchasers and has established modular as a mainstream method of delivery.
“It is an honour to receive such a high-profile accolade from the Modular Building Institute; an organisation that has been actively shaping the future for modular construction across the globe, and I would like to thank all those involved.”
In its 39th year, the World of Modular Convention and Awards is organised by the Modular Building Institute (MBI), the USA’s largest trade association serving the modular construction industry.

Michael Hough, director and founder, MJH Structural Engineers, said: “The Modular Building Institute has recognised the achievement of Vision Modular Systems and MJH Structural Engineers by inviting us to receive the inaugural Excellence in Innovation Award at the World of Modular conference.
“The MBI has recognised Vision Modular Systems as world leaders and for bringing modular construction into the realm of skyscrapers.”
John McMullen, Director of the Modular Building Institute, added: “MBI introduced its Excellence in Innovation Award this year and I can’t think of a better inaugural project than 101 George Street.
“Michael and John did great work here that truly shows the potential of modular construction. On behalf of the industry, thank you and congratulations.”
