Roofscape Design Awards 2026 are back

The Roofscape Design Awards 2026 are now officially open for entries, celebrating the very best in trussed rafter design across the UK construction industry.

Launching earlier than in previous years, the awards recognise excellence, innovation, and technical skill in the use of trussed rafters, shining a spotlight on the designers, engineers, and teams who bring complex roof structures to life.

Celebrating excellence across projects and people

The awards continue to highlight the creativity and expertise that define the trussed rafter industry. This year’s programme features six categories in total, three celebrating project excellence and three recognising individual achievement.

The project awards honour outstanding design across residential, conversion and refurbishment, and commercial projects, from housing developments to technically demanding non-residential builds. Entries may be based on trussed rafters, metal web beams or combinations of the two and should a compelling narrative that highlights technical achievement, design quality, or professional growth.

The individual awards celebrate the people driving progress within the sector:

• Innovation Champion of the Year – recognising leadership in sustainability, technology, or operational improvement.
• Safety Champion of the Year – celebrating exceptional commitment to safe working practices.
• Career Development Champion of the Year – acknowledging dedication to learning, growth, and professional excellence.

The award categories are sponsored, with individual prizes presented to each winner.

Nick Boulton, chief executive of the TRA, said:

“We’ve brought the awards forward this year to give our winners more time in the spotlight and to showcase their achievements across the industry.
