A great afternoon at the Smart Buildings Show at the London Excel, where our CEO and Founder, Anna King, chaired the session ‘What Makes A Smart Building Smart’ sponsored by Smart Infrastructure Magazine. Thankfully we are not entirely relying on technology alone to provide the intellect when it comes to smart buildings. Human interpretation and understanding people is the vital part of what makes the data useful. With special thanks to Steven Clarke CMgr, Head of Technical Excellence, Sustainability and Innovation at WPS; Rex Conyers-Silverthorn, Vice President of Leasing at BGRE; Simon Bird, Director at LOM architecture and design; and Andy Clement, Senior TSM at Wates Fit Out Wates Group. #smartbuildingsshow2026

When women in construction are given the platform to be seen and heard, the whole industry benefits.⁠ ⁠ As we continue looking back at our Women in Construction Awards 2026 Pre-Event, we’re sharing another moment from a brilliant day that brought together people from across the industry ahead of this year’s awards.⁠ ⁠ In this reel, we hear from Hannah Lewis-Jones, who took to the stage as part of an event dedicated to recognising the achievements, experiences and voices of women across construction.⁠ ⁠ For us at Design & Build UK, the Women in Construction Awards have always been about more than handing out trophies.⁠ ⁠ They’re about visibility. Recognition. Representation. And creating a platform for the people helping to move our industry forward.⁠ ⁠ Our pre-event was a fantastic reminder of just how powerful it can be when people from across the sector come together, make new connections and celebrate the progress being made.⁠ ⁠ A huge thank you to Hannah Lewis-Jones for being part of the day, and to everyone who helped make the pre-event such a success.⁠ ⁠ Now, our attention turns to the big one…⁠ ⁠ Women in Construction Awards 2026⁠ 29 October 2026⁠ Royal Lancaster London⁠ ⁠ There’s still time to join us as we celebrate some of the incredible women and organisations shaping the future of construction.⁠ ⁠ Secure your tickets:⁠ www.womeninconstructionawards.com⁠ ⁠ #WomenInConstructionAwards #WICAwards2026 #WomenInConstruction #DesignAndBuildUK #ConstructionIndustry #BuiltEnvironment

The Wild Cities Coalition has launched! Think you have a piece of the puzzle? Speak to @wildcities_ . We are proud Founding Coalition Partners of Wild Cities in an attempt to make a real difference to local nature recovery, supporting on-the-ground community groups connecting a 14-mile nature corridor. Yesterday we hosted the first convening event for leaders and decision makers within the built environment, finance and insurance, public sector, community and beyond, to discuss and set urgent actions. The good news is we aren’t starting from scratch, there are amazing and replicable examples of urban nature recovery already taking place, we just need to: replicate and personalise with the community, collaborate finding common language, visions and metrics, and “benefit stack” solutions and will impact multiple challenges/opportunities. Seek more info from UKGBC and Green Finance Institute for funding models. Headlines: - We must act in 5-year minimum working programmes within a long term plan that future generations will gain from - Storytelling is important - Investing in nature means investing in ourselves - We need coordinating actors at the centre to bring together capital and deploy it Finally, as Jonny Wates said “we should be measuring Return on Society and Return on Inspiration… tapping into human joy is very powerful.” #WildCities #NatureRecovery #WalkieTalkie

Bob did the work right. He just couldn’t prove it. 📸 He insulated the ceiling and boarded it up the same day. Then Building Control asked for photos. No photos. So the ceiling came down. 3 days and £2,400 gone. Smart Bob got a reminder from Planner AI before he boarded up: “Take 2 photos before you cover this.” He took them. They were saved and shared. Job signed off. Good work isn’t enough. You need the proof. Be Smart Bob 👉 Check Link in Bio Builders, have you ever had to open up finished work to prove it? 👇 #Construction #Builders #BuildingControl #ConstructionTech @balfourbeatty @wearekier @watesgroup @laingorourke
