The Concrete Centre
Undrhill House, built beneath a 300-year old derelict barn in the heart of the English Cotswolds became the first certified Passivhaus in England.

97 Milton Park is a 3,500m2 speculative office development within a well established Oxfordshire business park.

Concrete’s unique flexibility provides a wide range of framing options, both in-situ and precast, and design/construction solutions to suit the project’s exact needs.
The Concrete Centre
Post-tensioned (PT) slabs offer the thinnest slab type and long spans can also be achieved. PT slabs use high-strength tensioned steel strands to compress the slabs, keeping the majority of the concrete in compression.
The Concrete Centre
Flat slabs are highly versatile elements widely used in construction, providing minimum depth, fast construction and allowing flexible column grids.

The walls of your family home could soon double-up as a battery, storing energy in its blocks.
The Concrete Centre
There are essentially two types of concrete block: aggregate blocks and aircrete blocks. From an environmental perspective, they are locally produced and can have a high recycled content, giving them low embodied CO2.
The Concrete Centre
Ribbed and waffle slabs provide a lighter and stiffer slab than an equivalent flat slab, reducing the amount of concrete needed.
The Concrete Centre
The versatility of concrete means that it can be designed and constructed to deliver high performance buildings through a spectrum of solutions ranging from onsite cast concrete, onsite build using factory made blocks, through to offsite manufactured two dimensional panels and volumetric units. When considering offsite solutions there are additional benefits offered by the use of precast concrete for offsite construction compared to other systems.
The Concrete Centre
Good design can provide more efficient facilities and a better environment for both staff and students. As well as providing the structural frame, concrete can be used to improve the overall performance of the building.
