Justin Stanton, BIMplus editor, added: “Our categories address many key topics – health and safety, data, the drive to net zero and modern methods of construction to name a few. And there are two suitable for SMEs or those working on projects valued at less than £10m. Key to success in the Awards will be evidence.”
Ollie Hughes, co-founder of Digital Construction Week, concluded: “To ensure the best of the best receive the recognition they deserve, we have created a robust judging process. Our judging panel comprises more than 20 well-known experts drawn from across the built environment sector. Our intent is that the awards will ultimately become the Oscars of the sector.”
