McAvoy Scoops Three MMC Awards

Lisburn-based offsite manufacturer McAvoy is celebrating a hat-trick of success at this year's national Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Awards.

At the awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation in offsite and modular construction, McAvoy scooped winning honours in the Manufacturer of the Year, Best Temporary Building Project – Public Sector and Project of the Year for Education (Secondary and Higher) categories, highlighting the company's industry-leading work across Ireland and the UK.

Ron Clarke, CEO at McAvoy, said: "We are incredibly proud of our success at the MMC Awards. This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team and our drive to lead the way in delivering high-quality space solutions through sustainability, innovation and strong partnerships."

Being named Manufacturer of the Year recognises McAvoy's commitment to collaborative working and customer experience. Judges highlighted McAvoy's key industry partnerships and its flexible, solution-focused ethos – a combination that is helping to raise industry standards and deliver value across sectors.

Meanwhile, McAvoy's Oasis Academy Temple Quarter project was named Best Temporary Building Project – Public Sector. Judges acknowledged the project's demonstration of MMC's potential to deliver rapid, high-quality education spaces. Sustainable features – including high-efficiency LED lighting, heat pumps and solar panels – were highlighted, along with a 99% diversion of site waste from landfill.

Additionally, McAvoy's Orsett Heath Academy project secured Project of the Year for Education (Secondary and Higher) for its innovative approach, enhanced by BIM, virtual reality modelling and wearable cameras. Constructed using 209 modules installed in just five weeks and delivered ahead of schedule, the scheme demonstrates how smart technologies are transforming the manufacturing and construction process. With timber cladding and brickwork designed to harmonise with the surroundings, the school has become a valuable asset to the local community.
