Construction is the workhorse of the UK economy, contributing £110 billion a year to GDP. But the industry remains steeped in tradition and outdated practices. Meanwhile the digital technology sector, fuelled by the UK’s reputation as a global innovator, is tipped to become our greatest export and a key driver for success post-Brexit. Ever since the Farmer Review’s call for the building industry to “modernise or die” there’s been much talk about the need to change the way we plan, design and construct buildings and infrastructure. Industry 4.0, embracing emerging technologies to drive greater efficiency across the construction process is more important than ever before. From materials and technologies reshaping what’s possible to contractors and manufacturers adopting modern construction methods, the Building Innovation Awards highlights technologies and approaches boosting productivity and profits to deliver greener, smarter, safer buildings. The awards recognise pioneering individuals, organisations and partnerships taking UK construction to the next level.
