A BIG HELLO A huge welcome to everyone exhibiting and attending Offsite Expo 2019. This first showcase event focusing on the world of offsite design, manufacture and delivery is hugely exciting.

There has never been a better time to be involved with offsite in all its many facets. As an industry it is flourishing and catching the imaginations of many working across the built environment and pushing the boundaries of building design. This has all been helped by the added push by Government with its ‘presumption in favour’ of offsite and the support of Homes England, in encouraging more offsite methods to bring improvements to the massive housing issues that many people – especially the younger generation – face across the UK. Because of this more architects, designers, engineers – and importantly more clients – are waking up to the benefits of offsite construction.

We have lots on offer over the next two days.

On the exhibition floor we have the very best the offsite industry can offer with market leaders showcasing the expanding range of offsite technologies, systems and products together with the widest display of new and innovative applications for offsite methods within the built environment. But what really sets Offsite Expo apart from other exhibitions is the added value that visitors can expect. It’s not all about finding the latest technology and business development – it’s about hearing about the latest advances and the future of Offsite Expo Admission Policy & Visitor Information Offsite Expo is strictly a trade event for companies operating within the construction industry.

• Only pre-registered visitors, exhibitor badge holders and visitors who register on or before the 24 and 25 September 2019 will be able to access Offsite Expo.

• Registration takes place in the main atrium of the Ricoh Arena, Coventry using the self-scan process for efficient and environmentally-friendly badge production and collection.

• Seminar places are free of charge and are subject to capacity constraints.

• Delegate places will be allocated on a ‘first come first serve’ basis and there will be limited seating room in each seminar

the industry from people whose opinions really matter from across the UK and overseas.

You can find out lots more inside this Guide about what to expect across Offsite Expo but our programme of speakers from the UK and across the globe is unsurpassed and the special Masterclass sessions and Offsite Summit promise some of the biggest names in the industry discussing some of the hottest topics. We have worked hard to pull the seminar programme together, drawing an unrivalled collection of high calibre speakers from all four corners of the offsite world into one place. There really is something to motivate and inspire everybody with innovation literally around every corner.

There is a real buzz around offsite and the response to this event has been amazing. We are delighted by the support and enthusiasm of those operating within the offsite sector and also the wider construction industry that have got involved. As I tell everyone – offsite is here to stay – and if you’re in any doubt, simply walk the aisles at Offsite Expo: we promise you won’t be disappointed!

Many thanks to all our exhibitors and sponsors and have a wonderful and successful show.

The Forum provides an opportunity to network with key offsite industry experts who have a genuine desire to conduct purposeful meetings. It will also be a chance to learn about the latest offsite product innovations. This focused approach has proved to be highly successful in creating new business relationships.

LEADERS & INNOVATORS

OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION AWARDS The Offsite Construction Awards have experienced exponential growth and next year’s event is set to be the most prominent yet, with the Awards taking centre stage at Offsite Expo on 22 September 2020 at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.

The 2020 Awards will attract over 500 industry leaders and innovators. This move will give the team behind the Awards room to expand the event, after the high demand for tickets last year saw many people losing out on attending the big night.

Many of the sponsorship packages have already been snapped up by savvy companies wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to promote their company and maximise industry exposure. The headline sponsors for next year’s event include EOS, Hadley Group, NHBC and BLP insurance – with only one package remaining for a headline position.

It is not only the venue that is changing, two new categories have been announced. The Offsite Construction Awards are expanding to reflect the wider adoption of innovative technology. These new categories include Building Performance Pioneer Award,

STEEL CONSTRUCTION INSTITUTE The Steel Construction Institute (SCI) has been a trusted independent source of information and expertise serving the steel construction industry for over 30 years Fifteen years ago SCI developed the SCI Assessed scheme as a way of providing specifiers with third party assurance that the claims made by manufacturers were credible.

The scheme continues to cover a broad range of products, one of its major strengths is the flexibility to cover offerings as diverse as a manufacturer’s engineering methodology to load-span tables for purlins.

SCI has also offered manufacturers of light steel framing systems for the residential market NHBC Stage 1 assessment for over 10 years. We review the proprietary details contained in a manufacturer’s system manual, and confirm their alignment with NHBC’s Section 6.10 standard details for structural aspects of a system.

In response to industry demands, we have now significantly extended the ‘Stage 1 process’. SCI Product Certification covers broad technical content, including structure, acoustics and fire, plus factory production

control to provide assurance that a certified product is, and does, what it says. The current scope of certification is limited to areas in which SCI is a recognised authority, including: • Cladding and Roofing • External Wall Systems (Infill) • Light Steel Framing Systems • Modular Building Units.

For each area we have a separate Technical Scheme Document that defines the scope of what we will assess and how we will assess it. This ensures that different certificates within a family are immediately comparable.

Certificates, developed in consultation with a number of warranty providers, offer clear, unambiguous statements about compliance with all relevant requirements and regulations, and follow the Basic Requirements for construction works as set out in the Construction Products Regulation.

SCI Product Certification operates under its own rules of governance with its own procedures and training requirements. It is subject to ‘observation’ by an Impartiality Committee to ensure that SCI certification activities are undertaken in an impartial, independent and open manner.

CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTIVITY EVENT

TACKLING CONSTRUCTION’S PRODUCTIVITY CONUNDRUM Productivity is an ongoing concern for the construction sector. Whilst productivity in manufacturing sectors has virtually doubled over the last 20 years, construction productivity has stagnated and has not improved since the early 1990s.

The objective of the Construction Productivity Conference, taking place on 21 November 2019 in London, is to gather together those who have the skills to tackle construction’s productivity conundrum and to create a platform for knowledge sharing and networking.

With statistics finding that only 64% of the hours worked in construction are deemed productive, the event will focus on new technologies, logistics, supply chains, materials and waste management together with construction culture, developing human resources to establish a workforce and a sector that is fit for the future.

The Construction Productivity Conference will focus on the application of a ‘productive construction factory thinking’ model and change management in the key areas of: Product, Process and People. The conference has been created to inform and support clients, architects, engineers, contractors, government departments, councils, local authorities, local enterprise partnerships and building technology suppliers in finding ways to address and tackle inefficiencies within the construction sector.

OFFSITE EXPO 2019

• The importance of Heat Air Moisture Management (HAMM) in offsite building manufacture • Building Regulations • Modelling & Analysis • External vs Internal Air and Vapour Control • Fixing Options for Air and Vapour Control • Guaranteeing Protection from Factory to Site.

Understanding the importance of these key elements upon the building envelope is crucial to the successful construction and operation of a building. Architects, designers, and offsite construction manufacturers must seek to understand the science behind our buildings, managing the external and internal forces, which impact on the quality of the completed building, its performance in use, as well as the health of its occupants and the wider environment.

From setting out the primary USPs and objectives to maximise impact, a set of initial draft designs were created and the journey with BCC and Birmingham Municipal Housing Trust (BMHT) began.

ModPods International was born and specific detail was paid to creating desirable living space, quickly and effectively that can be

It was vital that the pods had to exceed NDSS minimum living standards in order to offer the customer a temporary or permanent housing option, and equally as important that all services be live once the pod is sited allowing immediate occupation.

Completed offsite and factory-built in a controlled precision environment, the ModPod range is a modern, innovative housing solution that can transform brownfield sites that have been an eye-sore and nuisance for so long and offer a secure and long term housing option. www.modpodsinternational.com

OFFSITE EXPO 2019

Since its launch in early 2015 the Offsite Hub content has expanded to meet the demands of its users and this update is a continuation of this expansion. New sections are being added on a regular basis and the platform is constantly being upgraded to improve the users’ ability to find the information that they are seeking by cross-linking the Offsite Hub content and optimising the user experience, including the introduction of the first and only Offsite Blog – where industry experts and leading companies share their thoughts on topical issues and the latest developments in the sector.

Expanding into a more multimedia experience – the Offsite Hub is now launching a new Offsite Hub Podcast which will be free to download along with webinars on various topics surrounding offsite construction, productivity and training.

Offsite manufacture removes much of the construction process from the construction site, leading to several efficiency and environmental benefits, including reduced onsite labour, shorter construction timescales, better health and safety and less material-intensive activity.

With the Hub refresh comes a larger focus on sustainability, energy efficiency, productivity and helping the construction sector to reduce their carbon footprint by using Modern Methods of Construction and DFMA principles.

These upgrades will reflect the thirst for more information and resources for professionals in the offsite sector and the increasing demand for more information resources on offsite construction projects.

As a focal point for offsite industry information and events it is essential to stay current and informed for any construction professional. The Offsite Hub has long been known for its association with the biggest and best offsite events such as Offsite Awards, Explore Offsite Masterclasses and
