Welcome to the latest edition of UK Construction Excellence – celebrating the very best in British building.
And so autumn has arrived, bringing with it some of the industry’s most notable events. With UK Construction Week and Digital Construction Week on the horizon, we preview both shows to give you the best possible overview on what to expect.
Elsewhere, our very own Abigail Burr speaks with Mike Burroughs – CFOA member and Fire Consultant to the Structural Timber Association – about the perils of timber frame construction, while John Adams – Head of BIM Services for BIM Strategy Ltd – considers the many challenges facing the newly-minted UK BIM Alliance.
Our ongoing fleet focus also continues with a look at ultra-low emission vehicles, and a full and frank appraisal of the Department for Transport’s commitment to sustainability.
All this and more can be found inside, along with contributions from guest commentators and breaking news from Great Britain and beyond.
