Engenuiti’s experience has been invaluable to B&K Structures. They have a fresh dynamic approach with a hands-on attitude to solving problems. Their technical expertise is industry leading and they always impress with their delivery. Nick Milestone - B&K Structures

The Clients aspiration was for an exemplar sustainable design and ambitious delivery programme in time for their 25th Anniversary. Engenuiti engineered the iconic prefabricated timber frame that was designed, installed and opened within 12 months.

As well as minimising site disruption with high prefabrication, the project also achieved beyond zero embodied CO2 emissions.
