Innovative Thinking –Revolutionary Technologies
Plans are well under way for the UK’s most comprehensive showcase of offsite technology. This is an industry first – never before has the offsite construction sector come together to deliver such a comprehensive multifaceted event.
OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION WEEK (OCW) offers unrivalled access to leading industry pioneers, demonstrators, dynamic factory tours, thought provoking roundtable discussions, CPD accredited masterclasses, award celebrations and an international summit.
OCW Advisory Group
Expertly curated by the OCW Advisory Group, the free to access programme provides a comprehensive and balanced perspective on this rapidly emerging sector from a host of renowned architects, engineers and offsite manufacturing pioneers. Offsite Construction Week presents an opportunity to get ‘behind the headlines’ and experience first-hand the speed, safety and sustainability benefits of modern methods of construction.
Collaborative Culture
Offsite Construction Week will serve as a pivotal platform for fostering collaboration amongst policymakers, clients, contractors and offsite manufacturers, by bringing these key stakeholders together to address shared challenges and present opportunities in the construction industry. Through a series of panel discussions, seminars, site tours and innovation competitions, participants will share knowledge and best practices, exchange project experiences, and develop cohesive strategies that align with evolving regulatory frameworks and market demands. This concentrated interaction will not only enhance mutual understanding and trust, but also drive efficiency across the vertical markets, ultimately leading to more collaborative and sustainable construction practices.
Accelerating the Pace of Change
The industry’s vertical markets are under pressure to deliver some ambitious projects in the next decade, which requires the creation of production capacity today. Digital technology, including Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) can reduce build time by 50%; however, there is a marked disconnect between clients, specifiers, contractors, and the supply chain. A wider deployment of offsite construction methods requires a shared understanding and a common strategy for navigating the risks and challenges involved in utilising offsite technologies. Offsite Construction Week will give the floor to industry experts to present and discuss strategic investments intended to streamline planning, funding, standardisation, and quality assurance.
A Cultural Shift in the Implementation of Offsite Technologies
In addition to showcasing the latest technological advancements shaping the future of the built environment, Offsite Construction Week 2024 will bring together expert voices from the key vertical markets, embracing a collaborative culture to accelerate the adoption of offsite technologies and meet the UK government’s ambitious plans.
Sharing Strategies
The challenges of offsite construction projects provide critical lessons on the importance of thorough planning, integration, and adaptability. Stakeholders must align offsite and onsite phases, which requires comprehensive early-stage planning and resource allocation. Offsite Construction Week will enable constructive debates around the lessons learned from past projects, where industry experts from around the world will present evidence-based strategies for successful solutions. By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, these events will promote collective learning, forging partnerships and propelling the industry forward towards greater efficiency by embracing offsite construction techniques.
Breaking Barriers
By facilitating unbiased dialogues amongst industry innovators and showcasing their latest achievements, Offsite Construction Week will create a comprehensive platform for overcoming the obstacles to a wider adoption of offsite construction. Industry pioneers will propose practical solutions to key issues, such as the integration of offsite methods with traditional construction practices. Industry bodies will launch supportive regulatory frameworks, incentivising stakeholders at the early project stages.
Workforce Diversity
In addition to accelerating project delivery, deploying offsite construction technologies and methods open up the construction sector to a more diverse workforce. This approach provides a safer and more controlled working environment, particularly for women and people with disabilities. The need for skilled labour, capable of working with advanced technologies and prefabricated systems, underscores the importance of targeted training and education. Offsite Construction Week will give the floor to women in construction involved in projects that utilise modular technologies and prefabricated products. It will also shine a light on current initiatives that are upskilling the UK workforce.
Industrialised Construction
In line with macro-trends transforming the built environment and in response to the latest UK government agenda, offsite construction has embraced more sustainable, efficient and scalable construction practices. Representing these strategies is the wider adoption of platform design, Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), and kit of parts manufacturing. This approach aims to streamline the construction process by integrating advanced planning and panelised components, from standardised

building design to simplified manufacturing and assembly, ensuring quality control and accelerating implementation. At Offsite Construction Week, visitors will have the opportunity to learn from the pioneers in this method and experience its results in the exhibition arena.
The Most Comprehensive Showcase of Offsite Technology in the UK
With precision focus on the technologies and trends that are bringing transformative change to the construction industry, OFFSITE EXPO will be held at the Coventry Building Society Arena from 17 – 18 September 2024.
Another Level
The leading industry figures behind the 2024 event have taken it up another level, integrating the show into Offsite Construction Week. Not only will the event be showcasing international offsite construction best practice with the new OFFSITE SUMMIT, but it will offer privileged access to the offsite manufacturing industry’s ‘big hitters’ from across the UK and beyond.
The event explores the next big breakthroughs in sustainable construction and how 2D panelised, 3D volumetric modular and pod technologies – underpinned by revolutionary digital innovations, will drive further transformative change within the industry. Across the structural timber, light steel frame and precast concrete material portfolios – award-winning industry pioneers will shed light on the ideas and innovations that are fundamental in meeting net zero carbon targets.
Collaborative and Informative Environment
With an emphasis on construction industrialisation, kit of parts and platform design, skills and productivity challenges – the event brings together those who are focused firmly on the future. In an era dominated by remote and digital experiences, this live event offers unparalleled opportunities to escape the virtual world, chat face to face and look to new horizons that can address the sustainability challenges and productivity issues that have plagued the construction industry for decades.
“We’re delighted with the quality of the event and have seen the people we want to engage with. We will be back in 2024 and have already booked our exhibition space.”
Chris Holleron Sales Director, Voestalpine Metsec plc
“This is my second year at Offsite Expo, and it has been great. There have been some excellent opportunities to meet with construction professionals and secure some good sale leads.”
Andy Tichy Business Development Manager, Frameclad
Maximise the opportunities on offer at OFFSITE EXPO by engaging in the OFFSITE CONNECT activity at the show – a facilitated ‘meet and greet’ forum that matches buyer and specifier needs with technology suppliers and advisors.
A massive draw for those involved in procurement, the forum is an exclusive opportunity for exhibitors to meet face-to-face with industry professionals with a buying or specifying remit operating across every sector – from infrastructure to education and healthcare to housing.
This focused approach has proven to be highly successful in creating new business relationships and facilitating meetings that allow architects, engineers, specifiers, developers and contractors to get the most out of their time at the event.
