17 Jan 2020

The Concrete Centre is thrilled to be sponsoring the Best Use of Concrete Technology category in this year’s Offsite Construction Awards. The 2020 entries are now open, so make sure you submit your project or innovation by the 15th May deadline.

More about the category - Best Use of Concrete Technology

The category will reward the exemplar use of precast concrete in a project across any UK construction sector. The criteria includes floor and wall panels, cladding, volumetric and pod technology, pre-stressed units and formwork systems. The entrant will have used concrete as a major component in delivering quality, factory-controlled, robust and sustainable offsite manufacture.

Special attention will be given to material performance levels and any project should clearly demonstrate how cost-predictability, economy, accuracy, transportability, speed of installation and principles of lean manufacture have been achieved.

Last year’s winners - Dandara Group: Dandara Build-to-Rent

Winners of the category in 2019, Dandara, has established that offsite construction provides an ideal building solution and have fully embraced this methodology for all of their Build to Rent projects. 2,063 units are currently under construction at three sites in: Arena Central in Birmingham, Leodis Square in Leeds and Chapel Wharf in Salford, Manchester. Planning is also now approved for a further 2,000 additional units at several other sites in the UK.
