Robotic layout is typically associated with partitions and MEP. This session explores what happens when that same technology is pushed beyond its conventional use.

It presents a live case study from the Hinkley Point C nuclear project, where robotic layout has been adapted to support rebar cage prefabrication in a high-volume production environment. Faced with time-intensive manual setting out and increasing productivity demands, the team rethought how robotics could be integrated into an unconventional workflow to improve efficiency, consistency, and accuracy.

The session will share the practical realities of implementation, from workflow redesign and transforming reinforcement IFC models and data into print-ready outputs, to how printing strategies and operational constraints influenced technical decisions.

Attendees will gain practical insight into extending construction robotics beyond conventional applications and a clear understanding of what it takes to make innovation deliver on site, unlocking measurable value through digital implementation and process improvement.

In complex infrastructure, the gap between a 3D design and a muddy trench is where projects lose time, money, and safety margins. In this session, we move beyond “BIM for the sake of BIM” to explore a practical, digital-centric framework used to deliver a massive motorway project ahead of a strict deadline.

In this masterclass you will get an inside look at how an award-winning office design team transformed design reviews and pre-construction workflows by going fully digital with Bluebeam. We’ll walk through a real use case and share best practices you can implement immediately – from standardised markups to calibrated take-offs, faster sign-off and early cost visibility. If you want practical methods to reduce rework and strengthen cost control, this session is for you.

In this joint session from NavLive’s CEO and CTO, you’ll discover how AI-powered 3D mapping reduces survey time, improves coordination, and turns raw spatial data into faster, smarter project decisions. If you want to understand the future of reality capture in construction, this session is for you.

Artificial intelligence is becoming embedded across the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations industry, but real value comes from performance, not pilots. In this session, Julian explores how AI moves beyond demonstrations to deliver measurable impact across projects, portfolios, and the full building lifecycle. From faster decisions and reduced risk to improved quality and resource efficiency, AI must translate intelligence into tangible outcomes. The future of AI in AECO is not about more tools, it’s about performance at scale.

We’re using digital tools and product-led design to remove barriers, accelerate step-free access, and make travel easier for everyone.

Join Scott McCaw (BIM Manager, George Leslie) and Stuart Campbell (Trimble) for an inside look at their digital transformation. They’ll move past the hype to share the “hard numbers” behind their move to a unified Trimble ecosystem – resulting in 690+ hours saved and £15k in gains per scanner, annually. Get an honest look at the implementation reality and discover how they built a “golden thread” of data from site to office.

Construction validation at scale in live data centre environments is fundamentally different from traditional as-built capture, and getting it wrong can mean costly rework, delays, and reduced client confidence.

Learn how our experts approach continuous construction validation across active, mission-critical projects. From the realities of working on live sites to the breakdowns in traditional workflows, they’ll walk through how their teams have evolved from periodic checks to a more continuous, reality-capture-driven approach.

Shaping the next generation of QA with IDS and Solibri.

Information Delivery Specification (IDS) is beginning to shape a new generation of QA workflows in BIM projects. But what does that mean in practice?

This session provides a look at how IDS can help structure and clarify information requirements, enabling more consistent and data-driven model checking across project teams. We will explore how IDS concepts align with Solibri’s existing strengths, what benefits they can bring to everyday QA processes, and how this emerging approach supports more reliable and predictable information quality.

Ideal for BIM managers, coordinators and digital construction professionals who want to understand how structured information requirements connect to model validation in practice. Attendees will gain:
A clear understanding of what IDS is and how it fits within openBIM workflows
Insight into how IDS can support everyday QA processes
A forward-looking view of how IDS may shape future Solibri workflows

‘Behind the Bricks’ explores the design and fabrication of two sculptural stone arches built for Clerkenwell Design Week 2025, using a fully parametric workflow developed with Grasshopper, Rhino, Human UI, and Rhino.Inside.Revit. This custom design engine responded dynamically to 2D and 3D geometry updates, allowing rapid design iterations while maintaining a continuously live set of construction drawings. The project represents a typology of end-to-end computation, one that could be replicated on future projects and design processes.

Construction is on the brink of its biggest transformation in 600 years. AI is not just improving workflows – it’s redefining how buildings are designed, estimated, and produced. From automating coordination and predicting risk to enabling factory-scale construction, AI is turning construction into a faster, more precise, and more scalable industry.

Drawing on a decade in technology and a front-row seat at Suffolk Technologies – where we’ve evaluated and partnered with hundreds of the most advanced startups in AI, robotics, and automation – this session cuts through the hype to reveal what’s real, what’s coming next, and who will win.

If Brunelleschi’s dome marked the beginning of modern construction, AI marks the beginning of its industrialisation. The question is no longer if AI will transform construction, but who will lead the transformation.

Digital evolution in construction is moving faster than ever, but it risks leaving people behind. While AI and automation dominate discussions around transformation, they don’t remove the need for clear workflows, accountability, and strong design management.

In this session, Maber Architects share a people-first approach to BIM delivery, using their experience as BIM manager for the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH) as a blueprint. This complex NHS project involved multiple stakeholders, legacy information, and critical safety requirements that required focus and decisive prioritisation regarding digital ways of working.

Rather than treating BIM as a specialist activity, Maber embedded digital processes directly into everyday design and construction workflows. By digitising clash detection and issue management using BIMcollab, they replaced static spreadsheets with a shared, accessible platform that designers actually engaged with, resolving thousands of coordination issues and reducing project risk.

The session will explore how human-centric BIM processes can scale across large projects, how issue management can become a core part of design management, and how technology can deliver value without leaving people behind.

If you’re navigating digital change, struggling with adoption, or questioning the role of AI in construction, this session offers a grounded, real-world perspective on what works.
