Bobin Homes

The project is a partnership between fife council, kingdom housing association and a select group of contractors.
As one of the contractors selected for the showcase, we at Bobin Homes are developing a Insulated concrete Formwork building, through our partner, Beco wallform.

The system is at the forefront of eco technology, although we are focusing on the building fabric and not of ‘bolt on’ renewables.

Beco Wallform consists of pre formed blocks which lock together to form a permanent formwork for a concrete core. The formwork is then clad in polymor rendor with no need for block superstructure. Inside the block, the walls are plastered onto the becoblock. With u-values ranging down to 0.11w/m2k, ideal for future ‘passiv haus’ reccomendations.
As of November 2011, we have started on site with the substructure, see pic 1.
