At xbim, we understand the importance of emerging digital technologies and the opportunities they create in the construction industry. As the creators of Toolkit, our open-source, Open Standards BIM library we are invested in collaboration and innovation. Our passion for the advancement of the construction industry through emerging tech has led us to be a proud sponsor of the 2022 Building Innovation Awards.

The building innovation awards support organisations who utilise emerging technologies in an innovative way to increase efficiency and improve processes within the construction sector. Previous winners have been notable projects such as The Active Office – SPECIFIC, Swansea University. The Active Office was an initiative that was designed to be energy positive, specifically constructed to include technologies that enable it to generate and store solar energy. The project demonstrated the ability of data driven design and highlighted the importance of assessing the design decision for specific outcomes prior to construction.

This year we’re sponsoring the award for Best Technology Partner, the shortlist for the awards will be announced on Monday 5^th September, we’re eagerly anticipating the list to find out who we might be meeting and greeting on stage when award night comes!
