Entries are open for the National Building and Construction Awards 2020 and the awards have introduced a new and exciting category focusing on technological advancements in the industry.

The Digital Construction Category has been designed for companies leading the way by applying technologies such as BIM and GIS to their projects; improving on their planning, design and construction.

Andy Boutle, Head of BIM at Kier Construction said “As one of the judges for the Digital Construction category, I’ll be looking for evidence of how industry standards have been applied in practice to help drive good information management processes that have benefitted project stakeholders and deliverables. While it would be good to see submissions pushing the boundaries of Digital and BIM implementation, I am more interested in seeing the fundamentals being consistently applied well, with clear engagement to processes and technologies by all project team members, not just by the specialists.”

The National Building Awards were made up of 24 categories and gave any successful business in the world of building the opportunity to highlight their work and achievements and be judged by a panel of national experts.
