The BUILDOFFSITE Innovation Challenge returns to Offsite Expo 2025, and NFRC Members have the opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge products to a high-profile audience of developers, clients, partners, and policy influencers.

Under the theme “System Ready”, this year’s Challenge seeks scalable, repeatable, and digitally enabled solutions to one of the UK’s most pressing challenges: retrofit at scale. 

Whether you manufacture whole-house platforms or plug-and-play components, if your product contributes to the sustainable transformation of existing buildings, this could be your business’s moment to shine.

  • A £5,000 marketing package, sponsored by Offsite Expo 
  • Prominent exposure to key industry stakeholders 
  • The chance to pitch live on stage at Offsite Expo 2025 in front of expert judges 

The final will be held on 16 September 2025 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, in a dynamic Dragon’s Den-style format. Finalists will deliver a 10-minute pitch, followed by questions covering: 

  • Carbon impact 
  • Circularity 
  • Digital delivery 
  • Real-world scalability 

What Are the Judges Looking For?
