Key Facts

The framework offers gold standard and passivhaus – the highest standard of creating an energy efficiency building. It also offers the offsite construction method, where a large majority of the assembly of the building is done in a factory before being transported to the building site.

The framework won the award for Best Procurement Delivery at the 2022 Scottish GO awards.
