Instead, the industry turned to ideas and insights on challenges across other themes including skills, inclusion and social value (20%), AI and data (16%), planning (16%) and placemaking (11%).<\/p>\n<h3>The One Big Idea report showcases how the construction industry can make meaningful changes<\/h3>\n<p>Katie Nelson, director and head of construction at Cartwright, said: \u201cOur One Big Idea initiative is defined by its central purpose to offer the space and opportunity for new and impactful thinking from across the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross all submissions, we can see the pressure the industry is facing from different directions and levels. With close to half of entries collected at UKREiiF itself, it\u2019s clear that industry growth was at the forefront of attendees\u2019 minds. The data collected illustrates the value of events like UKREiiF to allow the industry to step away from day-to-day delivery pressures and think differently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what One Big Idea has also shown is that there\u2019s no shortage of ambition, imagination or technical ingenuity \u2013 in fact, quite the opposite. However, in many cases, what the sector is short of is the collaboration, capacity and coordination to turn those ideas into delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Addressing gaps across the construction industry<\/h3>\n<p>Taking place at UKREiiF, the One Big Idea Breakfast saw three shortlisted ideas captured ahead of the event take to the stage in front of a panel of industry judges.<\/p>\n<p>The three shortlisted ideas focus on reducing carbon emissions, supporting the next generation, and addressing viability gaps in projects.<\/p>\n<p>The winning idea at the breakfast came from Sally Grindrod-Smith, director of planning, regeneration and communities at West Lindsey District Council. Her idea focused on a nationally scalable primary aspiration-raising programme that connects employers with primary schools to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/firms-desperate-hire-young-construction-workers-says-government-report\/162720\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inspire children about the built environment<\/a>, engineering, STEM, and beyond.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_163242\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-163242\" style=\"width: 703px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-163242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"703\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-winning-idea-at-the-breakfast-came-from-Sally-Grindrod-Smith-director-of-planning-regeneration-and-communities-at-West-Lindsey-District-Council-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-163242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Cartwright<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nelson concluded: \u201cThe next phase of the conversation needs to go deeper.
