The judging is complete and the finalists for the Offsite Awards 2024 have been announced. With an incredible mix of projects and cutting-edge technology on offer – here is a glimpse of what is in the running for a prestigious Award.

With this year seeing over 200 entries across the 23 categories, all roads now lead to the presentation ceremony on the 17 September where the Awards are co-located with OFFSITE EXPO as part of the expanded Offsite Construction Week.

This year will also be the Offsite Awards 10th anniversary and is a perfect way to celebrate the best the industry offers and an excellent way to relax and unwind after the show. With his cheeky sense of humour, Mark Durden-Smith will once again be chairing proceedings, pulling people’s legs and making sure the evening is enjoyable for everyone. The informal drinks reception will also offer plenty of networking opportunities.

Covering every aspect of the offsite industry from timber, steel, precast concrete, hybrid and modular technology and MEP to engineering and installation, the Awards ensure that all aspects of the offsite building process is celebrated and recognise the huge efforts that makes these inspiring projects possible to invigorate the built environment. Every year the judges have a difficult job of shortlisting entries into each category and were overwhelmed with the high standard and variety within every category. Typical judge’s comments included:

“A stunning example of offsite manufacture. The entire project team can be proud that they have delivered an iconic, sustainable and carbon sensitive building. If only all our buildings could be delivered like this.”

The Offsite Construction Awards will take place on 17 September at the Coventry Building Society Arena. The ceremony event is always a fun, relaxed and enjoyable evening of celebrations and a high-profile networking opportunity. Overleaf you can find the projects and people that have been picked out as outstanding and in the running for top recognition by our judges.

All the finalists are of the highest quality but who do you think will win?
