About this Event

High-Tech Innovation for Community Value

How can the latest advances in off-site construction empower communities to build in new ways?


Taking place during Humber Business Week, this talk by BlokBuild director Jonathan Green will explore how BlokBuild’s work delivering innovative, high-budget construction projects has created a toolkit of processes and technologies that, put in the hands of community groups, can revolutionise the way community-led homes are made.

Join us to hear about the digital tools shaping the future of Community and Co-Housing, and why a transparent approach to design and specification is the only way to deliver permanent, quality housing that stays in community hands.

About BlokBuild

BlokBuild is a Hull-based off-site construction company that designs, manufactures, and installs high-performance timber building systems. Alongside projects with leading UK architects, BlokBuild has partnered with Giroscope to deliver high-quality, sustainable homes in Hull using Modern Methods of Construction.
