Metsec wins BIM/Digital Construction Award

voestalpine Metsec has won the BIM/Digital Construction Award at the Offsite Construction Awards ceremony, held at Futurebuild 2019 at Excel, London.

The prestigious award not only underlines Metsec’s commitment to Building Information Modelling but also reinforces the company’s position as one of the leading exponents in the digitisation of construction.

Metsec was one of the first companies to recognise the significance of digitisation and the many benefits that it can bring, including improvements in collaboration, design time, manufacturing time and accuracy, all of which adds up to greater efficiency and enhanced customer satisfaction.

From the outset, the company undertook a programme of focused investment in the key technologies as well as the systems necessary to delivering these benefits, including staff training, updating processes, cultural change and digitisation of the product.

The results have been impressive; Metsec is the first Tier 2 Designer and Manufacturer, complying with BIM Level 2 for design and construction in the UK and the first manufacturing company to receive the BSI Kitemark for BIM. Uniquely, the company has also secured ISO 27001 status, enabling its BIM models to be encrypted for sensitive government projects.

The award was received by Metsec’s south-east regional sales manager, Steve Clark, who commented, “It’s great to have our efforts recognised by the industry. This award is the culmination of many years of investment by Metsec and the commitment of staff in driving standards forward.

“BIM is part of our strategic vision and positions Metsec at the forefront of the industry, leading the way in digital and technological development and providing customers with unrivalled advice and support.”

RCM and SPSenvirowall cement their collaboration at Futurebuild 2019

The closer collaboration between RCM and SPSenvirowall has been evidenced in a successful joint exhibition at Futurebuild 2019 where both companies shared a brand new stand showcasing their vast range of compatible products offering a one-stop shop to customers.

RCM and their sister company SPSenvirowall are happy to announce a successful show at Futurebuild 2019 in London.

Both part of the Benx Group, the companies shared a large and visually exciting new stand showcasing their joint product offerings.

Greater depth and diversity of products on offer demonstrated integration capability and successful one-stop solutions.

The prime position at the show together with the very clean and slick white design of the new stand allowed the samples on display to virtually present themselves. Various ranges of colourful facades and brick finishes compelled visitors to take a closer look.

Suspended 360-degree rotating interactive displays of RCM’s ‘complete through wall solutions’ and SPS’s ‘system build-ups’ allowed visitors to get a much better understanding of how the different products integrate with each other to form a solution.

Dynamic Cladding, offered exclusively by SPSfacades, part of the Benx Group and RCM’s popular Supertech Weatherboard cladding were also featured, highlighting the great façade options available. Visitors were also able to take away samples of the great building board range RCM have to offer.

“These are exciting times for both RCM and our sister company SPSenvirowall. Our closer integration will benefit our customers by being able to offer a much greater choice of solutions. Our products are compatible with each other and the range of services we offer greatly reduce the complexity of the customer’s supply chain. Our collaboration will also offer combined logistics, utilising nationwide depots, allowing for just-in-time deliveries”. (Amy Baker, Marketing Manager, RCM)

“Being able to showcase the different suspended models of ‘system build-ups’ using products such as Renderclad, TS Rail and a range of cavity systems give ideas and concepts a visual presence. Visitors left positive feedback and the show generated valuable leads and enquiries, which sums up the great effort made by all involved and is a testament to our ability to offer such a great range of compatible products”. (Natasha Ives, Marketing Manager, SPSenvirowall)

Visitors who weren’t able to attend Futurebuild 2019 will have a chance to visit the new stand at Construction Week, NEC Birmingham 8-10 October 2019. RCM and SPSenvirowall will be exhibiting in the ‘Roofing, Cladding & Insulation’ section on stand: B845.

Futurebuild 2019 – launchpad of an exciting new venture

Closer collaboration between RCM, SPSenvirowall and SPS Facades will see the sister companies jointly exhibiting at Futurebuild 2019 at London’s ExCel on 5th -7th March on stand D72.

Futurebuild 2019 was chosen as the ideal venue to announce the greater integration between RCM, SPSenvirowall and SPS Facades. All three companies are part of the Benx group.

Futurebuild, which is held at ExCel, London on 5th – 7th March is the evolution of Ecobuild. The show is a unique destination for visitors to gain unrivalled insights and hands-on experience around the latest innovations, products and materials.

Following on from last years’ successful event, RCM has decided to once again showcase its portfolio of building boards, facades, airtightness solutions and complete through wall solutions; this time joined by SPSenvirowall and SPS Facades.

SPS Facades

By working closer together the three companies will open up a joint portfolio of high-quality innovative products and services meeting the needs of different sectors across the construction industry. Customers will be able to choose from a vast array of products for the building envelope.

To celebrate this new and exciting venture, a brand new shared 50sqm exhibition stand has been specially commissioned. The eye-catching stand will showcase 360-degree interactive displays from both RCM and SPS, comprising a selection of their joint portfolio materials. A certified 120-minute fire-rated through wall solution will also be on display.

Visitors will be able to inspect these displays to get a better idea of how different products integrate with each other to form a solution.

Dynamic Cladding, offered exclusively by SPS Facades and RCM’s popular Supertech Weatherboard cladding will also be featured, highlighting some of the great choice of façade options available.

As part of product development for 2019 RCM will introduce a number of products including a cassette system and aluminium planking at the show.

SPSenvirowall will showcase its new Cavity System 1 & Cavity System 2. Cavity systems are extensively used on lightweight framed structures to create a void between the cladding and the sheathed framed structure. SPSenvirowall’s CS systems 1 & 2 are the next generation of this solution. Cavity System 2 with flexible brick slips has recently been awarded a KIWA BDA certificate, achieving the EU reaction to fire rating of A2 – s1, d0.

“RCM are very much looking forward to exhibiting at Futurebuild 2019. These are exciting times for RCM and our sister companies SPSenvirowall and SPS Facades. Our closer integration will benefit our customers by being able to offer a much greater choice of solutions. As our products are compatible with each other, the range of services we will be able to offer will greatly reduce the complexity of the customer’s supply chain.
