Timber Takes Centre Stage

The buzz around offsite construction is getting bigger and bigger with demand on the increase and innovators rising to the challenge. The shortlisted projects for Best Use of Timber Technology at the 2019 Offsite Awards – being held at Futurebuild – show the depth of talent.

Now in its fifth year, the Offsite Awards have grown in stature, attracting over 350 delegates and this year the winners will be announced on 5 March at the ExCeL in London. The finalists represent those who are at the forefront of the offsite construction sector, developing new material technology and prefabrication techniques. Across the 22 categories, the shortlisted entrants have been chosen for their outstanding contributions to the sector.

The UK has an outstanding history of timber architecture and now we are truly realising the full capabilities of this strong, sustainable and technically advanced offsite manufactured structural solution. Sponsored by the Structural Timber Association (STA) - the Best Use of Timber Technology category rewards the outstanding use of timber technology and innovators in the sector.

As building offsite solutions in timber are gaining traction, the STA's mission is to drive product innovation through technical guidance and research together with evidencing excellence, underpinned by an standard assessment - STA Assure.
