Hybrid Construction
OBR are champions of innovation. A perfect example of this is our use of Hybrid concrete construction.
This is a method of construction which integrates precast concrete and cast in-situ concrete to make best advantage of their different inherent qualities. The accuracy, speed and high-quality finish of precast components can be combined with the economy and flexibility of cast in-situ concrete.
This technique produces buildable and more importantly competitive structures, therefore the client receiving the overall benefits of safe and faster construction with a consistent performance. OBR are always looking to improve on the “Hybrid” RC structure through R&D with designers and suppliers.
OBR is actively engaged with clients looking for economic solutions and fast track design techniques which include the incorporation of Precast and steel elements.
OBR have many established partnerships with various precast suppliers and have undertaken several hybrid schemes over the years.
Case Study/ example: Media City Manchester
"OBR have always impressed me with their work ethics and managerial approach to go the extra mile to deliver a success project that is not only built to a high standard of finish, but is built to costs plan and agreed programme."

OBR – A credible subcontractor that won’t let you down who are performance and quality driven to achieve your programme delivery in a professional manner. Early engagement adds costs certainty with practical buildability advise and provides direction for engineers to design the structure that is economical and functional to build in a timescale that deliveries to programme milestones. OBR have completed numerous contracts for me over the years and were best placed to undertake the in-situ frame with transfer slab for the new Clayton Hotel in Manchester which included all substructure and basement work. H&S is key to any project success, OBR excel themselves with a zero tolerance towards poor H&S behaviour, site attitude and housekeeping therefore with OBR on your site you appreciate that that you`re in safe hands. OBR have always impressed me with their work ethics and managerial approach to go the extra mile to deliver a success project that is not only built to a high standard of finish, but is built to costs plan and agreed programme.
