Celebrating the Shift from Construction to Production – The First Industrialised Construction Awards
The UK construction sector is undergoing the biggest transformation in its modern history. Driven by platform design, advanced manufacturing and digital integration, the industry is shifting from traditional project delivery to true industrialisation – where buildings are designed as products, assembled using connected supply chains and delivered with predictable outcomes.
Recognising the Pioneers of Technology, Leadership and Culture Change in UK Construction
To celebrate the leaders driving this new era, the Industrialised Construction Awards will take place on 21 April 2026 in London, co-located with the Industrialised Construction Conference and immediately following the industry Drinks Reception sponsored by Autodesk.
Organised by Industrialised Construction Media Limited and judged by representatives of the Industrialised Construction Advisory Board, the Awards will recognise the organisations, technologies and people accelerating the UK’s journey from construction to production and demonstrating that better ways of designing, manufacturing and assembling buildings are not only possible, but already happening.
Why Enter the Awards?
As the inaugural Awards, this is a unique moment to recognise the first wave of companies and individuals turning ambition into reality. Winning an Industrialised Construction Award is not simply a trophy – it is a strategic platform to:
