Explore Offsite is a ground-breaking exhibition of offsite construction solutions. Building on the success of the national Explore Offsite conference and exhibition programme,

Elaine Toogood, Senior Architect at The Concrete Centre and Nick Gorst from British Precast will be chairing two sessions on concrete at Explore Offsite at Ecobuild. 

Concrete is a fundamentally important material to offsite construction. Precast and pre-stressed units provide elements such as the structural frame, supporting columns, panels, beams, flat slabs and volumetric solutions. These can be used to create most building types and throughout these sessions you will hear from some of the UK’s leading precast concrete solution providers.
