The Hammers II - 21st November - Novotel London Euston

Overview

The construction sector is very important for the UK economy. It accounts for 10% of the UK's GDP and employs 1.5 million people. Construction orders in the twelve months to June 2007 rose by three per cent according to the latest figures from the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. Projects such as The Emirates Stadium finished in July 2006 on time and on budget by one of the leading UK design and construction companies demonstrates how their appropriate use of IT helped in achieving this and contributed to them winning The Olympic Stadium project from the ODA earlier this year.

The construction industry relies heavily on Information Technology and both businesses and individuals now recognise that, if they are to stay up to speed with changing construction processes, technologies and methods of doing business, they have to constantly re-invest in their software and training. Procuring IT software and related services, including purchase, training, maintenance, upgrades and technical support can be a lottery with much investment wasted, leading to problems of incompatibility and disappointment.

The Construction Computing Awards is where individuals and organisations will receive industry wide recognition before an audience of their peers. The winners will be elected by the readership of Construction Computing Magazine. The Awards will showcase and reward the technology, tools and solutions for the effective design, construction, maintenance and modification of commercial buildings, residential and social housing and civil engineering projects of all sizes.

After the awards ceremony, entertainment will be provided until the early hours.
