🏆 Façade Awards 2026 – Not long to go!
We’re looking forward to the RCI Façade Awards 2026, where our work on the Greater Manchester Institute of Technology (GMIOT) at the University of Salford has been shortlisted for Best New Build – Education Setting.
Delivered for Tilbury Douglas, the project is one we’re incredibly proud to have been involved with.
The building’s standout feature is its striking Greencoat steel shingle façade, with seven different colours installed on a 45-degree orientation to create the distinctive geometric design. Delivering the architect’s vision required meticulous setting out, careful sequencing and a real attention to detail from our team.
Alongside the façade, we also delivered the Bauder warm roof, biodiverse green roof and BioSolar mounting system, completing a high-performance envelope that combines architectural impact with long-term sustainability.
It’s fantastic to see the skill and workmanship that went into this project recognised by the industry, and we’re looking forward to joining the other finalists at the awards.
Fingers crossed for the night! 🤞🏆
