Congratulations to all the winners of the inaugural Cygnum Building Offsite Awards at Munster Technological University.

Director of Sales, Heber Mc Mahon was delighted to make the presentations on behalf of Cygnum Building Offsite to these outstanding students whose final-year projects were based on the use of timber in construction.

Those awarded top prizes for their projects in timberwork include:

Aideen Buckley – Civil Engineering Department

Cathal Fitzpatrick – Architectural Department

Eoin Cahill – Construction Department

Building with timber reduces the carbon footprint of house construction by 60%. It is the quickest and easiest way for Ireland to tackle its carbon emissions from construction and, in the process, it will enable a dramatic increase in housing output.

These projects exemplify the talent being developed at Munster Technological University.

It’s essential to encourage and support our students to design with timber to help fuel the future of Ireland’s timber frame industry.

Growing trees take carbon from the atmosphere. Wood used by Cygnum comes from sustainable forests and stores carbon for the lifespan of the building. Increasing the use of wood in construction is one of the simplest ways to reduce carbon emissions. This is tried and tested #mmc.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has written to the housing minister asking him to fast-track the increased use of timber in construction and the measurement of embodied carbon in buildings.

It’s been an honour to open and close the current series of DIY SOS The Big Build Ireland!

This coming Sunday the final episode of series 4 will air on RTE 1. We were delighted to be back with Baz and the team in Coolaney, Co Sligo, to help out a very deserving family.

The call-out for support was overwhelming. Local volunteers, businesses, national trades, and suppliers all came together to help make a real difference.

Spring is finally here, and to celebrate we decided to have lunch al fresco style.

The Burrito Addict treated us to delicious freshly made burritos here on site. As you can see, they went down a treat!

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter from all at Cygnum.

The Wood Awards Ireland took place recently in the stunning location of Farmleigh House and Estate, Dublin.

We were thrilled to pick up a Highly Commended award on behalf of the project team who delivered the UK’s first Passivhaus Plus School – Hackbridge Primary School.

It was a pleasure to welcome such a large number of students from the Civil, Structural & Environmental Engineering degree courses at Munster Technological University.

Heber and Ian gave the students a guided tour around our manufacturing plant, followed by a presentation, fielding lots of questions from the knowledgeable group.

Great to see the engineers of the future show such a keen interest in our environment and sustainable building solutions!

Cygnum were delighted to be invited to showcase our ‘2 houses in 1-day’ video presentation at last week’s IHBA Housebuilding Summit in Croke Park.

The summit provided a national platform to explore how we speed up the delivery of homes.

Pictured is Heber Mc Mahon with Ivan Yates discussing how Cygnum can rapidly deliver high-quality, low-carbon housing developments.
