BUILDOFFSITE announces new collaboration with Offsite Expo

Offsite construction membership body BUILDOFFSITE (BOS) has announced it will be partnering with Offsite Expo for this year's event.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, BOS is today continuing to be the principal and trusted voice of the industry in the world of offsite construction and has members based in the UK, but also in Europe, Asia and North America.

Building on these international connections, BOS will co-host the Offsite Summit at Offsite Expo, focusing on international best practice on day one of the event and showcasing their own activities on day two.

Dirk Vennix, executive director of BUILDOFFSITE, said he was delighted to be collaborating with the event. He said: "I am delighted to be partnering with Offsite Expo.

"This expo has regularly exhibited the best of the offsite construction industry, so to be able to highlight the international expertise of BOS members and other key stakeholders is very exciting.

"There has been a great amount of change in the offsite construction sector in the 20 years since BUILDOFFSITE was launched and Offsite Expo being the biggest showcase for the offsite industry, is the ideal platform to demonstrate that change and future innovations and ideas."

As well as the collaboration with BOS, this year's event will also feature networking opportunities, with nearly 5,000 construction professionals attending over the two days and custom-built features and live demos showcasing a broad spectrum of panelised, volumetric systems, pod and prefabricated MEP solutions.

Amy Pryce, event director for Offsite Expo, added: "We are extremely pleased to have BOS join us for this year's event, especially in light of their 20th anniversary and the increased focus on international offsite knowledge transfer.

"BOS will be joining many other industry partners at this year's event, including the Light Steel Frame Association (LSFA), Modular and Portable Building Association (MPBA), Structural Timber Association (STA), Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and the Concrete Centre.

"All of these partners will come together to make Offsite Expo the largest and most comprehensive offsite construction event in the UK."

First held in 2019, the Offsite Expo is a free to attend exhibition, with an embedded seminar programme, highlighting the best of the offsite construction industry.

Attendees will also be able to take advantage of the expertise and knowledge of more than 150 offsite manufacturers and suppliers and hear from more than 100 speakers in the Explore Offsite CPD Masterclasses, as well as free consultations with offsite experts. BOS members will be offered a 10% discount on exhibition rates.

There will also be a dedicated Offsite Connect buyers and specifiers forum, with more than 100 construction industry professionals participating.

Lastly Offsite Expo will celebrate the very best in offsite construction, at the Offsite Construction Awards on 17 September.
