The Construction Leadership Council has published a research report into the views of senior managers in construction product manufacturers about digitisation.
The research consisted of telephone interviews with C Suite individuals in manufacturing companies who supply products into the UK construction supply chain.

The research shows that the requirement for digitised product information set out in the Building Safety Act and the Golden Thread guidance is not reaching product manufacturers.
Manufacturers face a challenging journey to digitise and will require specific support and motivation to make the necessary changes.
Richard Robinson, President, UK & Ireland at Atkins Réalis said: “Eighty per cent of the 80 manufacturer leaders interviewed for this research understood the importance of digitisation, however only a few placed digital highly in their priorities, well behind other pressing concerns.
“We also found that digital transformation journeys are fragmented, and our investment into digital is sometimes misplaced due to a poor understanding of what is possible and what it means to digitalise. I urge you to read this report and consider how it can influence your policy decisions.”
The research was carried out by the Plain Language Group, the author of several other publications aimed at understanding manufacturers’ role in the digital transformation of the construction industry and assisting in the process of digitising construction product information.
