Collaborate for Impact: BUILDOFFSITE Innovation Challenge Returns to Offsite Expo 2025
16–17 September 2025 | Coventry Building Society Arena
The BUILDOFFSITE Innovation Hub Challenge is back—and this year, it’s not just about innovation.
It’s about action. delivery. impact.
On 16 September, three trailblazing finalists will take the stage at Offsite Expo to pitch breakthrough solutions to one of the UK’s most urgent challenges: scalable retrofit.
With millions of homes in need of sustainable transformation, this year’s theme—System Ready—calls for innovations that are repeatable, scalable, and digitally enabled. From whole-house platforms to plug-and-play technologies, it’s time to solve the retrofit puzzle.
In a high-energy, Dragon’s Den-style final, each competitor will deliver a 10-minute pitch, followed by rapid-fire questions from a panel of expert judges. Expect insight-driven queries on carbon impact, circularity, digital delivery, and real-world scalability.
“This Challenge is where bold meets buildable,” “If you’re working on a solution that solves the retrofit riddle, we want to see it.”
