Digital Construction To Take Centre Stage At UKCW Birmingham

UK Construction Week (UKCW) Birmingham, the UK's largest built environment event, returns to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) from 30 September – 2 October for its tenth anniversary show.

The event, themed 'where decisions are made', will feature CPD-accredited talks, live demonstrations, product launches, workshops, and networking.

The Digital Construction Hub, in partnership with Build In Digital, will showcase a wide range of cutting-edge fields, including BIM, AI and automation, robotics, visualisation, software, cloud computing, UAVs and drones, and 3D printing. Key exhibitors include Plan Radar, Xpedeon, Trakm8, Building Information Innovator, Hubexo, and Meta-dology.

Neil Gaisford, Divisional Director, Construction, commented: "As the construction industry continues to evolve at pace, staying ahead of the latest digital innovations is no longer optional, it's essential. From the adoption of cutting-edge software and data-driven project management tools, to the rise of modern methods of construction, it's about driving greater efficiency, sustainability, and safety across the sector.
