Offsite Awards Will Showcase Best in Industry

The highly anticipated Offsite Awards will be held this year at the Coventry Building Society Arena on September 19th. It will be an exciting evening of celebrating and showcasing some of the best players in the offsite construction industry.

It has been a year of significant change and innovation within the offsite construction industry. Businesses within the sector are continually meeting challenges and overcoming obstacles in their mission to design and deliver the next generation of offsite buildings and components.

There are 23 categories in the Offsite Awards, which cover all aspects of the industry, from digital construction to modular technology. With an extremely high number of entries this year, competition has been tough. There have been many examples of outstanding projects that showcase high standards and ingenuity in design, products and technology. 

With such a high calibre of buildings and projects entered this year, the judging panel have been faced with tough choices when selecting the finalists for this year's awards. However, after much deliberation, the finalists have now been announced.

The finalists will join each other, the judges and industry leaders at the dedicated awards ceremony where the winners will be revealed. The evening will bring together the very best within the offsite sector for a night of celebration. 

The Offsite Awards celebrate both large and small projects which make transformational changes to how structures are designed, built and delivered. By being selected as an Offsite Awards finalist, companies are positioned at the forefront of the industry. The awards, and everyone involved, are part of the drive towards showcasing and promoting the benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to the wider market.

Finalists will benefit from extensive media coverage, promoting both their business and projects as well as the industry as a whole. Projects from last year's Offsite Awards were featured in publications such as Offsite Magazine, The Architects Journal, PCB Today and The Metro, as well as BBC News.

The Offsite Awards 2023 will take place on September 19t,h on the evening of the first day of Offsite Expo. Visit the Offsite Awards website for more information or to book to attend the awards.

The Offsite Expo 2023 is a two-day event that will bring together the leading suppliers and manufacturers within the offsite construction industry. It will showcase technologies such as BIM and other digital technologies, modular solutions, panelised systems and more. The Expo will host 120 exhibitors in a dedicated exhibition space, displaying ground-breaking systems and products. It will include a CPD Accredited masterclass programme which will include expert speakers and panellists presenting talks and case studies on a range of subjects across two stages. A record number of attendees are expected at this year's events, reflecting the growing interest and participation in the industry.
