Best Use of Technology: Offsite and Modular

This category recognises teams using offsite and modular construction techniques to improve  project design and delivery. This may across any sector within the built environment  but must emphasise the benefits offsite and modular techniques deliver for the project in terms of efficiency, safety or improved outcome.

The technology must be being used on a specific project (as a trial or as a full-blown part of the project) between January 2020 and July 2021. Judges will looking for entries that:

• Demonstrate how offsite and modular techniques are having an impact on delivery of the project or benefitting the client in terms of outcome  
• Explain how this new technology is an advance on the conventional approach
• Describe the research, development and innovation strategy that led to the development of the offsite and modular solution.  
• Explain how the offsite and modular solution could be scaled up and your ambition for its wider use

Entries are free and you are able to enter several innovations in one category or enter as many categories as you see fit, having reviewed the specific category criteria.

Each entry should be supported by a maximum of two images. Images should be in landscape, more than 1MB in size, in jpeg/png format and should not be edited to include details of the category or the name/logo of the company entering (or any other annotations).
