ISG Wins Offsite Construction Prize For Manchester Project

Construction News Image
A project led by ISG and Manchester City Council has been recognised at this year's Offsite Construction Awards.

The Beaver Road Primary School was named Education Project of the Year 2019 at the ceremony in London.

The Offsite Construction Awards celebrate the best in precision building design and delivery.  

Judges were impressed with ISG and Premier Modular's integrated team approach to the project, which saw Beaver Road achieve RIBA Stage 5 in 19 weeks from a standing start and beat 32 other projects to win the highly-sought-after award.

The £7.2m Beaver Road scheme scheme utilised volumetric, offsite manufacturing to ensure the school could open ahead of the 2018/2019 academic year – saving at least 10 weeks against a traditional build programme. 

The ISG and Premier Modular team completed six projects for the council ahead of the academic year in 2018

This wider programme of schools was also recognised at the event, coming highly commended in the BIM/Digital Construction Award category. 

All six projects were to BIM Level 2, including a fully integrated asset information model. 

Neil Walker, framework director at ISG, said: "Early engagement of the right supply chain and standard repeatable designs - informed by lessons learned from two earlier modular school schemes – allowed us to ensure design for manufacture from the outset. 

"The speed of the wider schools programme, including the project at Beaver Road, was extraordinary. 

"Together the project team delivered six schools, with a construction value of circa £31 million in just 57 weeks from a standing start."
