Intrastack has been shortlisted for Best Use of Steel Technology at the Offsite Awards 2024
We are pleased to announce that Intrastack’s Ennerdale Avenue low-rise housing project has been selected as a finalist in the category for Best Use of Steel Technology at the Offsite Awards, along with some of the industry’s leading providers. The winners will be announced on 17th September at an evening event that runs alongside the Offsite Expo, which takes place over two days at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
The Offsite Awards celebrate excellence in offsite construction, looking at innovative and imaginative projects, solutions and organisations that are changing the way we build.
To be shortlisted for the Best Use of Steel Technology is a tremendous achievement and we look forward to seeing how we get on; we are also excited to see what projects our offsite construction colleagues have been working on and how the industry is moving forward and improving.
Ennerdale Avenue, Low-Rise Housing
The shortlisted project, Ennerdale Avenue, is a low-rise housing development focused on providing affordable homes in the Manchester area. The housing provider for the project is Southway Housing, the contractor is R&M Property, and Intrastack’s light-gauge steel frame structure was chosen as the solution for the project.
Intrastack’s low rise housing solution was used for eight low-rise houses on the development, which consisted of four semi-detached family homes and four cottage flats. Built on a plot which has limited space, the flexibility of construction was essential and our just-in-time approach to deliveries ensured no additional space was taken up by material storage, making the build possible and efficient.
The Ennerdale Avenue development also benefitted from Intrastack’s commitment to reducing carbon and waste on-site. As the project entailed a detailed design process, this meant the exact quantities were known ahead of time, so only the materials needed were used on-site. Steel frame also provides sustainability advantages, including 20% reduction in embodied carbon, compared with traditional construction methods.
