The construction industry matters.

It contributes almost £90bn to the UK economy (6.7% of the total); its output comprises around 9% of UK GDP; and its 280,000 firms, including engineering consultancies, employ around 2.9 million people, which is over 10% of the UK workforce.

As such, the sector’s productivity is vitally important, as is its role in helping the UK meet its 2050 net zero targets, particularly as the built environment accounts for 43% of emissions. Over the last 10 years, firms have invested around £2bn in R&D as the industry looks to embrace digital technology to become more efficient, deliver projects with increased certainty, decarbonise infrastructure and accelerate the transition to net zero.

Data is now driving everything, from planning and design, through to construction, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning. AtkinsRéalis is at the forefront of this transformation as we look to unlock the full potential of our engineering expertise by connecting people, data and technology to transform outcomes across the markets we operate in.

The publication below provides a snapshot of the digitally-driven solutions we’re offering clients, from data analytics that allow us to predict the previously unpredictable, to the use of aerial drones
for virtual site inspection, and design solutions that can halve embodied carbon. We also consider the potential of AI and the impact of emerging skills gaps, as well as what must be done by industry and academia to address these challenges.

But now is an exciting time for our sector, and I hope you enjoy this glimpse into what we’re doing today, and what could be done tomorrow.
