To be one of only 20 buildings shortlisted at the Wood Awards is an achievement in itself, and testament to all the hard work that has gone into the design, delivery and submission for NMIS up to this point. Huge swathes of workspace have been lost… The result is that the capital’s thriving ecology of makers and manufacturers – the kinds of small businesses that need studios and workshops – is pushed ever further out, or banished altogether.” B&K Hybrid Solutions is part of the Heage-based construction giant Bowmer & Kirkland Group which started life as a steel fabricator and now also designs large-scale timber structures. Emissions range from 38g/km to 41g/km, with fuel economy up to 176.6mpg and an all-electric range of around 30 miles. Another key stat is the boot space of 615 litres – enough for a family holiday.

I truly believe that the #constructionindustry needs to be more mindful of the #biodiversity and #nature impacts of our supply chains with #sustainableforestry practices offering market-ready #naturebasedsolutions like our Sylva™ kit of parts. https://lnkd.in/eS-J6svg A spokesperson for Robinson Structures said: “It’s a sad day for the Robinson family, but we are thankful that jobs have been saved and the state-of-the-art production facility remains both intact and operational.” With only 20 buildings from all sectors shortlisted and an in-person visit by a judge for each one, making the shortlist is a huge achievement for the whole team. For me personally, seeing the results from my efforts in writing the competitive awards entries is very rewarding. We are delighted to be working alongside Glencar delivering yet another Panattoni UK project, contributing to Europe’s largest developer of logistics property’s impressive portfolio. Thanks to leadership by Bethan Mai Roper who directed our collaborative entry's storyline, with precise #supplychain , #sustainability and #policy data from forest to frame by yours truly, engineering expertise by Harry Snook& architectural vision by HLM Architects, our NMIS (National Manufacturing Institute Scotland) project is up for the Buildings Category of the Wood Awards.B&K Hybrid Solutions’ extensive experience with Cross Laminated Timber has been invaluable in delivering our first Deltabeam and CLT solution on behalf of Balfour Beatty plc. BKHS were engaged under a PCSA to develop the Deltabeam and CLT solution with the project team, including detailed vibration analysis of the long span floor plate and the development of critical connection details. B&K Structures delivered the facility’s unique glulam diagrid feature roof with raking V-columns and cross laminated timber panels.

We are delighted to be highly commended at such a prestigious celebration of #timber projects. Well done to all the winners and finalists! #WoodAwardsThe new NMIS headquarters pushes the boundaries for the application of engineered timber, creating a BREEAM Outstanding, inspirational learning environment with a unique structural identity. Aiming to promote collaborative working, sustainability and innovation, the facility’s design maximises the technical and aesthetic capabilities of engineered timber, creating an advanced two-storey structure that is carbon neutral and optimised for productivity. Panoramic glazing, diagonal glulam columns and an extensive diagrid roof define the building’s striking appearance. Highly visible externally and internally, the dramatic glulam structure provides a wide column-free space that maximises flexibility and the potential for reconfiguration. The second generation of Volkswagen’s Tiguan compact crossover has been as popular as the first. Available in five-seat or seven-seat Tiguan Allspace versions, it plays practicality as its trump card. We are pleased to share some recent photography from Fife College in Dunfermline, where BKHS are delivering the largest Deltabeam and CLT hybrid project in the country.
