As sustainability regulations evolve, integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into early-stage decision-making is more critical than ever. The UK, for instance, has unique requirements, with the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard placing increasing emphasis on in-use emissions reporting. Sweden, for example, mandates LCA as part of building regulations, affecting early material choices—such as whether to build with steel or wood. Elsewhere in Europe, frameworks like the EU Taxonomy are beginning to shape sustainability in design and construction.

This roundtable will explore how BIM workflows can help designers, architects, and stakeholders make informed decisions that support long-term sustainability. With the increasing focus on carbon tracking and meeting industry expectations, we will discuss:

• How BIM enables better data reuse for sustainability insights across a project’s lifecycle
• When and how key material decisions are made, considering factors such as cost, availability, carbon impact, and regional regulations
• The role of Digital Twins in embodied carbon tracking, refurbishment strategies, and long-term emissions monitoring
• How evolving frameworks and standards are shaping sustainability data use in design and construction

This interactive discussion will allow for an open exchange of ideas, focusing on practical solutions and real-world insights as to how to seamlessly integrate LCA and sustainability into BIM workflows and to support informed decision-making from design to operation.

Early manufacturer involvement is key to unlocking the potential of offsite construction, but it doesn’t require drowning in fabrication details. Instead, integrating the right product intelligence early in design to optimize product placement and ensure manufacturability is key. By embedding manufacturing logic into digital designs, teams can instantly assess the impact on cost, carbon, and time across multiple products.
Discover how early product integration and real-time, data-driven insights across your project help identify and mitigate design constraints early, improving efficiency, reducing rework, and ensuring decisions are informed from concept to construction.

Scott Brownrigg work as a Lead Designer and Architect across many sectors and now have a number of large projects submitted through the BSA Gateway 2 process.

This session is looking at how Building Safety Act has influenced the way we work as designers and with specific focus on a few areas where designers scope has changed or become more focused in BIM collaboration and coordination for the whole team and the importance of data operability across the life of the project.

With specific case-study project examples, this session is designed to promote discussion and hopefully deliver useful tips and conclusions for all attending.

This talk examines how the integration of Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) is prepared to evolve the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. By exploiting AI’s capabilities for advanced data analysis and automation, BIM is advancing from being a sophisticated, interoperable, and coordinated process to becoming a fully intelligent ecosystem. This evolution highlights the potential to revolutionise workflows, improve decision-making, and enhance project outcomes throughout the building life cycle.

A key focus of AI-driven BIM is the increased interoperability. While traditional workflows repeatedly suffered from fragmented data, AI technologies and algorithms now allow BIM platforms to serve as a unified source of real-time project information. This repository minimises duplications and inconsistencies, allowing smooth communication across all project stakeholders. Notwithstanding, AI enhances BIM’s capacity for design efficiency, construction scheduling, and predictive maintenance, resulting in advanced risk mitigation of schedule delays and cost overruns.

Furthermore, the talk explores how adherence to BIM ISO 19650 standards and protocols can be facilitated by AI-based compliance tools. This promotes data quality and consistency while reducing unnecessary administrative work. Simultaneously, arguments will highlight the significance of people-led digitisation while debating that effective AI integration relies on efficient collaboration, workforce upskilling, and robust change management.

Ultimately, the union of Agentic AI and BIM declares a new chapter in digital construction. By embracing cutting-edge AI technologies, the AEC industry can reach an exceptional degree of robustness, sustainability, and efficiency, resulting in restructuring the built environment and the workforce who manages its life cycle.
