About Construction Innovation Hub
Transforming performance and productivity in the construction industry.
The Construction Innovation Hub (CIH) draws on the expertise of:
- Building Research Establishment (BRE)
- Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB)
- Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
CIH is tasked with changing the way buildings and infrastructure are designed, manufactured, integrated and connected in the built environment, and – as a catalyst for change – driving collaboration. This will help develop, commercialise and promote digital and manufacturing technologies for construction, to build smarter, greener and more efficient buildings.
