Today sustainability is not a buzzword it’s a necessity, and the transition to modern methods of construction (MMC) is now an integral part of solving the issue of climate change.

MiTek is here to help and with a long history of steering advancements in building for nearly seven decades, its well placed to help the sector on its journey to net zero.

A Legacy of Transformation

Founded in 1955, MiTek changed residential construction with the invention of the Gang-Nail plate, providing an affordable and scalable way to manufacture wood trusses. Today, MiTek serves residential and commercial customers delivering software, services, engineered products, and automated solutions that optimise a more integrated Design-Make-Build approach to construction.

By enabling upfront collaboration across the value chain, including architects, engineers, builders, component manufacturers and more, we create a single source of truth that guides each design decision and unlocks the power of Offsite construction. A Berkshire Hathaway company since 2001, MiTek is backed by a team of over 6,000 professionals globally. The business enables the delivery of exceptionally streamlined builds, offering higher quality, increased speed, less waste, more value, and in turn, transforming how the world builds.

Future-focused for Offsite Expo

As MiTek makes its debut at the Offsite Expo, visitors to our stand can see firsthand how our products and solutions are helping to shape the future of construction.

We will be showcasing our offsite manufactured Posi-Joist, which is helping the industry to meet new building regulations, housing targets, improved efficiency and quality. With tens of thousands of low-carbon homes projected to be built in the UK, Posi-Joist will play an integral role, offering the housing industry the ability to meet new building regulations, and support the UK energy transition.

Our Posi-Joist and Connector Plates are all verified with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in the UK. This endorsement allows industry stakeholders to assess the environmental footprint of MiTek’s offerings, promising not only quality but sustainability across the lifecycle of the building.

Collaborations Defining the Future

These factors no doubt helped in the selection of Posi-Joist being used in the eHome2 project. This project is a collaboration with Saint Gobain, Barratt Developments and the University of Salford. Situated within the University’s innovative Energy House 2.0 research lab, it explores the boundaries of sustainable housing, incorporating technologies that surpass the current regulations, to see what is possible. Further to this collaboration, MiTek’s Posi-Joist found a remarkable application in the construction of the Black Chapel Pavilion at the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens. Integrating seamlessly into designer Theaster Gates’ vision, the Posi-Joists facilitated a quicker installation while echoing principles of sustainability.

Celebrating Excellence at the Offsite Awards

MiTek are proud to sponsor the ‘Client of the Year’ category at the 2023 Offsite Awards, a ceremony that recognises excellence and innovation in the sector. As we await the award ceremony, MiTek extends its best wishes to the remarkable finalists whose groundbreaking projects are all helping to pave the way for a more sustainable and innovative housebuilding sector.

We invite everyone to explore the future of construction with MiTek at Offsite Expo. First and foremost, we want to hear from you, come and tell us about your projects, products, services and any challenges you have. We can tell you about our Posi-Joist offsite manufactured floor system, the Design Optimisation service for housebuilders, and show you how our ‘Design-Make-Build’ methodology that is steering the industry towards a promising future.
