BriggsAmasco has been shortlisted in the sustainability category at this year's Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA) awards.

The nomination is for the company's exceptional team performance on the Cow Green housing development in Halifax town centre. BriggsAmasco's delivery of a single-ply roofing system for the 122-home scheme was a collaborative triumph, with the company working alongside the contractor (Caddick Construction) and architect (jmarchitects) to accommodate a mid-project design change.

Tony Lawther, Managing Director, at BriggsAmasco, said: "The SPRA nomination is excellent news. The Cow Green project provided a real test of our all-round skills. The original specification required a hot melt roof system. Following consultations between ourselves, the contractor and architect, a single-ply solution was preferred. Our expertise in delivering a wide range of applications varying in size and complexity enabled us to take the specification change in our stride and complete the project to the agreed timeframe, and the client’s complete satisfaction."


The specification change to a single-ply roofing system was required to create falls through tapered insulation. The membrane’s exceptional finish, which negated the use of gas-powered tools or plant, was also crucial to its selection.

Cow Green's mix of high-quality, energy-efficient one and two-bedroom apartments enabled developer Placefirst to deliver its most sustainable housing project to date.

SPRA category winners will be announced at an Awards Luncheon held on June 12th at the Hilton NEC Birmingham.
