PCE is fully embracing digital ways of working in construction: The use of technological innovations such as BIM, robotics, virtual and augmented reality and modular/offsite construction, enables building digitally before building on site so as to be mindful of climate.
The Smart Construction Zone will discuss the various tools, technologies, and contracts involved in the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places through discussing their application on real-life projects and/or the latest advancements

This stream offers an in-depth exploration of the fundamental elements that make up the key disciplines of project controls. It is designed to provide comprehensive education and deeper understanding, particularly suited for beginners and intermediate professionals in the field. Whether you are new to project controls or looking to enhance your existing knowledge, this stream covers the essential concepts and methodologies that form the foundation of effective project management and control practices (including its sub-functions such as such as cost management, scheduling, risk analysis, change management, and performance reporting.). Through detailed discussions and practical examples, participants will gain valuable insights into how these elements work together to ensure successful project outcomes. The content is tailored to those who are either just beginning their journey in project controls or seeking to build a more robust understanding of the discipline’s various components.

The Controls and Skills zone will, over two days sharpen the focus on project controls. The arrival of the first ever national British Standard BS202001 Project Controls Specification provides a framework to mobilise operate and assure delivery at strategic and operational levels. Certification of individual, project and organisation will now be possible boosting the authority and the roles of Project Controls. In a programme curated by Steve Wake and Anil Godhawale senior stakeholders from Industry Academia and Government will focus on the improved application of delivery through better understanding of human and technical skills, life skills, employability skills that will raise the level and increase the numbers available to meet the skills demand to enable this country to pursue growth, stability and prosperity in works of National and International importance.
