Offsite Manufactured Modular Roofing System Challenge The timber roof truss market is mature and consequently new products such as roof panels or modular roof systems are gaining market share rapidly Project Development of a modular roofing system that can be mass customised, is cost competitive and reduces the likelihood of working at height accidents Outcomes • The development of a modular system, improving speed and quality of build • An additional 50 jobs planned to be created by 2020 between the company and the supply chain • On-site waste reduced from 20% to 3% Support • Total Project Value £308,000 • CSIC Funding £58,000 • Project Duration October 2016 –January 2018
Cross Laminated Timber Project Challenge Scottish Timber is not currently used to manufacture Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) components but could be if commercially viable and regulation compliant Project Construct Scotland’s tallest CLT building and evaluate the technical performance to inform future opportunities for home-grown CLT production Outcomes • Delivery of the tallest CLT building in Scotland • Robust evaluation data on structural, fire and acoustic performance • Commercial evidence to support the manufacture of home-grown CLT Support • Total Project Value £606,000 • CSIC Funding £ 60,000 • Project Duration January 2017 -November 2017
The K-Briq Challenge 70% of building materials will need to be recycled by 2025 and 0% to pass to landfill. Currently 120M tonnes annually produced in the UK Project The project is to assess the feasibility and testing of a novel building material made from 90% recycled material from pilot production through to delivery of a demonstration structure with on-going monitoring Outcomes • £11m increased turnover for lead partner and supply chain by year 5 • Creation of 20 high value jobs • 5,355 tonnes of CO 2 per annum saved once 10m bricks/ annum produced Support • Total Project Value £469,000 • CSIC Funding £214,000 • Project Duration August 2017 -August 2019
Virtual Showroom Prototype for Offsite Manufactured Production Challenge Clients are increasingly expecting to participate in the design process of their new house. This can be difficult within a paper plan environment Project The development of a software application which can enable construction firms to create virtual homes directly from their BIM models and for clients to remotely walk through their own site Outcomes • 1 new product -a virtual showroom app • Increased company revenue –new home sales & licencing • 12 new jobs created & 3 new export markets identified Support • Total Project Value £45,000 • CSIC Funding £20,000 • Project Duration May 2017 -November 2017
