Digital Construction Awards 2022 July 12, book here for the event before May 20 for a discount. https://dca22.evessiocloud.com/live/en/page/table-booking |
[edit] Introduction
The Digital Construction Awards have been running for a few years and celebrate the most pioneering projects, teams, and individuals championing innovation and technology in the built environment, whether at the bleeding edge of technology and digitalisation or exploring digital technologies and processes for the first time. The organisers want to share and recognise the incredible efforts from across the sector in driving our industry forward.
The 2022 awards are open to the entire industry. Run in partnership with Digital Construction Week, BIMplus, Construction Management and the Chartered Institute of Building. With 13 prestigious categories to enter, this is your chance to showcase the outstanding work you’ve been doing over the past 12 months.
Further information on the 2022 awards and how to enter can be found here
[edit] Categories
[edit] Best Application of Technology
This category will recognise the application of a specific technology or process. The manufacturer or vendor should not be the focus of your entry, rather it should focus on how the associated technology has been applied to a particular challenge or solved a specific problem. For example, rather than the USPs of a specific VR headset, in this case we would want to know how VR has changed the way you work or offer value to clients.
Tell us about the challenge you wanted to overcome and the outcome you were looking to achieve. How did you select the right technology to use, and then measure its return on investment/objectives.
This category recognises the use of data to enhance design, construction processes or asset management on a building or infrastructure project.
[edit] Delivering net zero with digital innovation
This category recognises those organisations whose vision of the future is an industry that places great importance on carbon efficiency, an industry that continuously measures and manages carbon through all project stages, basing project decisions on CO2e emissions, not just cost and time.
Entries should focus on how digital tools, methods, and skills are improving the performance of projects and leading to lower emissions. This may include, but is not limited to DfMA, material selection, construction plant, equipment, labour, and transport and the role of technology and digitalisation in these areas.
The entry should focus on a specific innovation that has led to reduced emissions towards net zero.
[edit] Digital construction project of the year - major project
This category will look to celebrate what can be achieved through the successful implementation and adoption of digital technologies and processes on a project.
This is not about one specific issue or challenge, but about how a digital approach has enabled better outcomes for a project overall. A major project is defined as one that is worth more than £10m in value.
[edit] Digital construction project of the year - small project
This category celebrates what can be achieved through the successful implementation and adoption of digital technologies and processes on smaller projects.
This is not about one specific issue or challenge but about how a digital approach has enabled better outcomes for a project overall. The definition of ‘small project’ is any project below £10m in value.
[edit] Digital excellence in a construction business
This category will award a business that has transformed, elevated, or demonstrated excellence in the way they work through the adoption of digital processes or technologies.
This category is not about the transformative nature of a particular solution or technology, but about the steps taken by an organisation to change the way it works and the positive impact this has had on is business.
[edit] Digital excellence in a construction SME
This category will award an SME that has transformed, elevated, or demonstrated excellence in the way they work through the adoption of digital processes or technologies.
This category is not about the transformative nature of a particular solution or technology, but about the steps taken by an SME organisation to change the way it works and the positive impact this has had on its business.
[edit] Digital partnership
This category recognises the best use of digital technology to enhance a partnership between two or more organisations on a project, at any level of the supply chain.
[edit] Digital innovation in design
This category recognises the use of digital technology to enhance the design process of a project.
[edit] Digital innovation in offsite construction
This category recognises the use of digital technology to enhance modular, offsite or modern methods of construction techniques on a project.
[edit] Digital innovation in onsite productivity
This category recognises the use of digital technology to enhance the productivity of site-based workers.
[edit] Digital innovation in health, safety and wellbeing
This category recognises the use of digital technology to enhance health, safety and wellbeing among construction workers on a project.
[edit] Digital construction champion of the year
This category recognises an individual who has played a key role championing digital transformation on a project, in an organisation, or an industry sector, during their career
