In construction, capability isn’t just about what we build, it’s about what we understand.
As the sector faces rising expectations around performance, sustainability, and compliance, insight and clarity are now as valuable as innovation. Offsite Alliance member Galaxy Insulation are leading that change, translating complex technical detail into practical, usable knowledge that helps the whole industry move forward with confidence.
Building clarity into compliance
When regulations evolve, confusion can easily follow. Galaxy’s technical team have been ahead of the curve with a series of updates designed to help specifiers, designers, and contractors navigate new guidance and performance standards.
Their recent feature, “TM59 Calculations for Overheating: What’s Changing?”, explores how new criteria within CIBSE’s TM59 framework will affect overheating assessments for residential developments. The update helps clarify when dynamic modelling is required and what the revised comfort thresholds mean for building design, breaking down what could be a dense technical shift into clear, actionable insight.
In another post, “What the New CIOB Guidance Means for the Industry”, Galaxy unpack the Chartered Institute of Building’s latest recommendations on managing quality and delivery risk in complex builds. By focusing on how clearer accountability and integrated planning can improve outcomes, Galaxy highlight the link between good information management and consistent performance — something that sits right at the heart of modern methods of construction (MMC).
Both pieces show a commitment to more than compliance. They’re about building understanding, making sure that everyone involved, from manufacturer to installer, has access to the same high-quality information that underpins better delivery.
Knowledge is capability
By simplifying complexity, they’re helping the supply chain move faster, make better decisions, and design for long-term performance, values that perfectly align with the Offsite Alliance mission to create a more capable, connected industry.
“Capability isn’t built in factories alone,” says Gaynor Tennant “It’s built in the conversations and insights that help us all deliver smarter.”
Galaxy Insulation’s work is a reminder that construction’s evolution isn’t just about new systems, it’s about better thinking.
At the Offsite Alliance, we’re proud to have members who share knowledge so openly, helping the wider industry learn, improve, and grow together.
Because capability starts with understanding and clarity is what keeps construction growing up.
