LAUNCH EVENT: Digitisation for construction product manufacturers: a plain language guide

Join Su Butcher, Director – Just Practising, and Duncan Reed for the launch of the manufacturers’ plain language guide to product data and digitisation.

If construction is to meet the challenges of a digital future and respond to the requirements of a new building safety regulatory system, it needs manufacturers to structure and share their data safely and sustainably.

This independent, impartial guide, produced by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and supported by a wide range of influential stakeholders, will help your organisation make the right decisions, navigate the wild west of digitisation and come out on top.

Digitising your construction product information makes commercial sense, it makes regulatory sense, and it will help futureproof your business.

The session will include a presentation of the key points of the guide with an opportunity to ask questions of the four-person Editorial Board.

The guide will be published shortly before the launch.

Presented by Simon Griffiths , (Head of Sales – Modular Construction – Sika UK), Paul Winwood (Managing Director – Frameclad), and Vince Fenson (Divisional Managing Director – Polypipe Offsite), this seminar will unpack the current challenges that the supply chain face and discuss some potential solutions which can be brought about through better collaboration.
