Our digitally driven construction system is formed of high-performance, insulated structural timber cassettes, designed with leading engineers and manufactured with pinpoint accuracy using CNC technology in a controlled factory environment.
Our vision for off-site construction is to harness the benefits of mass production in the service of ambitious, bespoke design. Led by the needs of architects and developers, our library of wall, floor and roof typologies is constantly evolving, with new cassette types developed to match design innovation.
Scaleable
Our system is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of commercial, residential and community build scenarios, from bespoke one-off structures to high-volume housing schemes. Our clients and collaborators range from private owners, architects and engineers to developers, councils and community land trusts. They all value a system that offers unprecedented streamlining of the design and construction process.
Sustainable
We strive for an exemplary fabric-first approach achieved via digital manufacturing and smart specification. Our structural cassettes are manufactured entirely from high grade OSB from FSC-certified forests in the UK and N.I. OSB uses the forest thinning of new-growth pine and spruce, including the tops which are not used in any other wood based product and often burned as a result.
The system is designed for customisable thermal performance using a range of insulation types and cavity depths, including mineral and glass wool, wood fibre, hemp and cellulose.
An independent study carried out by Aura Innovation Centre and the University of Hull found that the BlokBuild system has 45% less embodied carbon than traditional construction and produces only 10-12% waste, all of which is recyclable.
Accessible
Our deep belief in the power of long-term collaboration is the strength that makes us unique in our field. As the only system of its kind accessible to individual architects and developers, we are the bridge that connects our creative partners to the vast, ever-evolving opportunities and advantages of digitally-driven design, manufacture and construction.
Assured
The Build Off-site Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS) is a risk-based evaluation designed to benchmark competency, methodology and risk management for innovative off-site construction providers. Widely viewed as the industry gold standard, our BOPAS-accredited system and process illustrates our commitment to best practice across the off-site construction sector. For architects, contractors and developers, it means that the buildings you create with us are backed by a 60-year+ assurance recognised by funders, lenders, valuers and purchasers.
