At Smartroof, we are proud to have been shortlisted for a second Product Innovation Award this year to date. The Structural Timber Awards will take place at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham, on October 10. Smartroof has been shotlisted in the Product Innovation category for its Smart Suite. More than 500 leaders and innovators from across the construction sector will gather for this prestigious award ceremony, which will reward outstanding projects, innovative products and dynamic people promoting excellence in structural timber across the UK.

The ‘Smart Suite’ is a purpose-built, reusable marketing suite for the house builder to provide the critical first impression for potential house buyers. The product provides an ideal location in which to showcase the house types on offer in a particular development. Built in a factory environment, the Smart Suite benefits from all the advantages of offsite construction and can eliminate many of the issues a house builder can experience with selling in the early stages of a development. Ultimately the Smart Suite helps the builder get on site faster and build and sell their houses more quickly. This is an important innovation in the market given the well documented housing crisis facing the UK construction industry.
