CityRise: Using Automation and IIOT for Off-Plan Developments

CityRise, a leading name in the UK property market, is transforming how off-plan developments are designed, built, and delivered by leveraging advanced automation and IIoT technologies. While the primary goal is to streamline construction processes, the deeper focus is on building smarter, more connected developments that ensure exceptional quality, speed, and transparency for investors and buyers alike.

Traditionally, the off-plan property sector has depended on careful project management and static timelines, but today's investors expect more—faster delivery, higher build quality, and greater visibility into project progress. To meet these evolving demands, CityRise is integrating intelligent automation systems and real-time data solutions into every phase of development.


This advanced technology is reshaping how off-plan properties are brought to life. IIoT devices and sensors are deployed across construction sites to monitor everything from equipment efficiency and material usage to environmental conditions. These tools deliver live updates and analytics, helping project managers predict delays, prevent material waste, and fine-tune schedules with unmatched accuracy. For example, concrete curing sensors and structural monitoring tools allow real-time assessment of build quality, ensuring every stage meets rigorous standards before progressing.

With automation tools coordinating everything from procurement to on-site logistics, CityRise gains end-to-end visibility and control over each development. This allows for proactive maintenance, reduced downtime and a smooth flow of materials and labour, which are all critical to delivering properties on time and to spec. Investors benefit too, with real-time updates, interactive progress dashboards, and data-backed assurances that construction is advancing according to plan.

By adopting IIoT and automation, CityRise is not just improving internal efficiency—they're raising the bar for transparency, build quality, and customer confidence in off-plan property investment. Their deep expertise in digital construction tools positions them at the forefront of innovation in the UK property sector, offering a smarter, more reliable approach to property development in a fast-moving market.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
