In\u00a0BIM Today<\/a> September 2019, we reveal the results of the Construction Industry Brexit Survey, a major, month-long poll of our readers to gauge the confidence of the architecture, engineering and construction sector about the prospects for the industry once the UK leaves the European Union<\/h2>\n

The results paint a fascinating picture of how those working in the field, one of the key pillars of the UK economy, at this crucial\u00a0\u2013 and turbulent \u2013 time for the country.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, we talk to Sam Stacey, the man leading UKRI’s Transforming Construction Challenge<\/a>, about how it will drive innovation, what has been achieved so far and the future of BIM.<\/p>\n

We also hear from Ayo Sokale, project manager and BIM lead for the Environment Agency, about her BIM journey, a new framework from the EA to foster greater collaboration and how making BIM “sexy”<\/a> can break down negative perceptions of the technology.<\/p>\n

There is much more besides, from Rebecca De Cicco of Women in BIM<\/a> on the importance of attracting more females to the industry and Jamie Mills on the work of BIM4Water<\/a> to digital twins for cities, drones, 5G, smart technology in offices and how AI could help to transform the way we estimate construction costs.<\/p>\n

Here’s a selection of what’s in store:<\/p>\n
