Bridging the Gap: A Resounding Success at Digital Construction Week

5 June 2025

The Digital Buildings Council (DBC) was proud to partner with Digital Construction Week (DCW) on their new Digital Operations Stage, sponsored by Glider Technology. Yesterday’s panel session, “Bridging Digital Construction and Operations,” was a resounding success, directly addressing the pervasive ‘project-operations gap’ – a driving force behind many of the DBC’s planned initiatives.

The session was masterfully moderated by rugby World Cup legend Matt Dawson MBE. Our Executive Officer, Justin Kirby, also participated and helped put this impactful panel together.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all the distinguished panellists for their valuable contributions:

  • Nohman Awan (Balfour Beatty)
  • Claire Callan (WSP)
  • Hugo Corrie (Turner & Townsend)
  • Sam Pickering (The Instant Group)

Additionally, you can listen to an AI-generated podcast discussion about the panel session Justin has posted over on LinkedIn and read an article-length summary of the panel on his Deep Meaningful Conversation blog here.

We’ll be sharing more summaries of other impactful sessions from Digital Construction Week very soon.
