The Cygnum MTU Awards 2025

Congratulations to the incredibly talented students of Munster Technological University on winning the 2025 Cygnum Building Offsite Timber Awards.

It was a pleasure to see firsthand the creativity, technical skill, and passion that went into the end-of-year projects.

The projects reflected not only a deep understanding of timber construction and offsite innovation but also a real commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking design.

At Cygnum Building Offsite, we understand the future of construction lies in the hands of these bright, driven individuals whose achievements this year give us great confidence in what’s to come for our industry.
To the students, lecturers, and everyone at Munster Technological University who supported this years projects – well done.
All of us at Cygnum Building Offsite are proud to support these awards.

Here’s to building a cleaner, greener future – together.

Biodiversity at Grass Roots!

Éirú, Blarney Streets School Garden is bursting into life once more as spring arrives. Children have been out digging, weeding, planting, pruning, noticing, naming, and more.

Each day brings something new to the garden! Well done to all the helpers from 4th and 5th classes who’ve put in extra work preparing the beds, keeping the school grounds litter-free, and getting the wormery up and running once more.

Cygnum was delighted to support the biodiversity garden by sponsoring the planters and encouraging some budding green fingers along the way!

Welcoming representatives from Government departments, County Councils, and City Councils

We recently welcomed representatives from Government departments, County Councils, and City Councils for a firsthand look at Cygnum’s state-of-the-art, Industry 4.0-enabled manufacturing and site erection operations.

The delegation included representatives from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Local Government Management Agency, Tipperary County Council, Westmeath County Council, Cork City Council – Comhairle Cathrach Chorcaí, and Cork County Council.

During their visit, our guests explored our highly automated manufacturing plant and later visited a local construction site, where they saw the benefits of Lean principles in action. As part of Enterprise Ireland’s Built to Innovate programme, under the Government’s Housing for All initiative, Cygnum is committed to driving productivity and innovation in residential construction.

We were delighted with the positive feedback from our visitors, particularly on our commitment to delivering sustainable housing at speed and scale.

Their support reinforces our mission to combat the housing crisis with cutting-edge, efficient, and environmentally conscious building solutions.
