Work Safe At Height

Cygnum is a proud partner of #CIFsafety22. Today’s theme examines the importance of working safely at height.

When working at height we assess the dangers and plan accordingly. Our site teams ensure the correct PPE gear is worn at all times. Fall arrest netting to the underside of trusses is fitted to enable the work to be carried out safely.

Embodied Carbon Report

The data in the new report on Embodied Carbon from the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government, and Heritage speaks for itself.

Accelerating the use of timber in construction is vital to meet the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2021 commitments of net zero carbon by 2050, and achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.

The report states ‘It is apparent that unless steps are taken to address the issue there will be a significant increase in construction-related carbon emissions.’

Stunning Cedar Clad House

We are very happy to share this stunning cedar-clad house recently completed in Cork.

Cygnum’s certified U values and thermal bridge models give our clients the comfort of knowing that our products offer the highest performance. The data can be used in BER calculations to ensure that all elements of the build, including heating systems, are cost-effective.

Munster Site Update

It’s full speed ahead on this large housing development in Munster! A growing skills shortage in the construction sector is reinforcing the need to adopt offsite construction and manufacturing to deliver speed, scale, and quality housing.

Programme certainty enables our clients to schedule follow on trades months before they are required.

It was a pleasure to present a CPD to the team at Helena McElmeel Architects today.

Great to see such a positive response to the benefits of building offsite #timberframe houses.

Straight lines made simple

Straight lines made simple, we design our houses by lining up studs with trusses using a grid system. This is an example of our attention to detail and our strive for perfection.

Building towards a cleaner, greener future

Building towards a cleaner, greener future. One of the simplest ways to capture carbon and reduce CO2 in the atmosphere is by increasing the use of wood in construction.
