Taking centre stage at Offsite Expo on the evening of 21 September 2021, the Offsite Awards saw a major coming together of the industry when over 400 guests gathered to celebrate ground-breaking achievements and the pioneers who are developing radical new offsite technologies and landmark projects using factory-based methods. Attracting more than 200 entries, the Offsite Awards showcased many outstanding light steel frame projects and product innovations.
Best Use of Steel Technology
Always a highly competitive category, the five finalists demonstrated the versatility of steel framing solutions with a diverse variety of applications ranging from a modular affordable homes ‘airspace’ development built above a carpark, to creating student accommodation on top of a disused retail building and a mixed-use scheme designed to reference the shipbuilding industry with an unusual shape making it totally unique but extremely challenging to construct.
