Digital Design Organisation of the Year

AtkinsRéalis stands at the forefront of digital innovation in construction, revolutionising how we approach design and project delivery. Our seamlessly integrated technology stack enables global teams to collaborate effectively across boundaries, while our data-driven approach powers informed decision-making through advanced analytics and visualisation tools.

At the core of our digital excellence is the Advanced Analytics Control Centre (AACC), our proprietary data orchestration platform that integrates data across all vendors and sources. This solution maximises productivity and leverages data across stakeholders, incorporating ML and AI engines for predictive insights.

Our commitment to innovation extends to standardisation and automation, with robust component libraries enabling seamless design reuse. We've embraced cutting-edge technologies like VR/AR for enhanced client engagement, while our ISO 19650-compliant Global Design Framework ensures consistent excellence across projects.

The impact of our digital transformation is evident in our achievements, including significant automation savings and widespread industry recognition. Our MIDP tool's adoption by a major global client over their internal solution demonstrates our technological leadership. Through continuous improvement and knowledge sharing, we're not just adapting to the digital future – we're actively shaping it.

DuPod’s approach to digital design is centred on precision, efficiency, and automation, revolutionising construction through advanced modelling, parametric design, and seamless collaboration. Traditional 2D methods often lead to inefficiencies, design errors, and slow iteration cycles - challenges that DuPod has overcome through digital design integration.

A key differentiator is DuPod’s structured approach to developing high-fidelity digital models, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to fabrication-ready details. By incorporating rich data attributes, these models enable material optimisation, cost estimation, and lifecycle management.

Collaboration is essential to DuPod’s digital design strategy. A cloud-based Common Data Environment (CDE) synchronises project data, allowing real-time coordination between architects, engineers, and manufacturers. Advanced tools such as generative design, digital twins, and AI-driven automation further enhance project outcomes by reducing costs and timelines while improving sustainability.

The results are measurable—clash detection has reduced on-site conflicts by 85%, design efficiency has improved by 30%, and sustainability efforts have lowered carbon emissions by 25%. DuPod’s data-driven processes ensure that digital design objectives—efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability—are consistently exceeded

Egis redefines digitalisation as an intrinsic driver of operational evolution, seamlessly fusing technology with engineering excellence.

The firm employs data-driven methodologies, automation, and predictive analytics to optimise design accuracy, construction processes, and asset lifecycle management. Computational design, AI-assisted parametric modelling, and digital twins enhance decision-making, ensuring a synthesis of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

The introduction of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has sparked a transformative digital revolution in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. BIM is a sophisticated digital process that enables architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders to collaboratively design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure projects.

This technology transcends traditional 2D drawings by offering a comprehensive 3D model that integrates various building elements and data, thereby enhancing collaboration, reducing errors, and improving project outcomes.

The organisation’s core business objectives—enhancing constructability, minimising environmental impact, and securing cost predictability—are advanced through these digital initiatives.

Tangible outcomes include reductions in RFIs, optimised resource allocation, and significant material waste minimisation. This dynamic framework continuously evolves to meet the shifting landscapes of construction technology, solidifying Egis’ industry leadership.

At Mott MacDonald, digital innovation is at the core of our operations. We continuously embrace the latest advancements in our industries, from inception to project delivery.

Our robust innovation process fosters the discovery, incubation, and scaling of ideas, ensuring that digital enhancements seamlessly integrate into our projects and initiatives.

In response to global challenges like climate change, we have developed the PAS 2080 compliant MOATA Carbon Portal tool allowing detailed embodied carbon accounting and planning at all stages of the project.

Additionally, we harness Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies to elevate design comprehension and coordination processes, and we have integrated computational design within DFMA to enhance efficiency through automation and scripting. Such processes support our application of modern methods of construction and off-site manufacturing into our designs.

In the present digital world, data is our currency. Hence, we have implemented data analytics across all aspects of our design, converting raw data into actionable insights for informed decision-making.

As industry leaders, we recognize that digital technology reshapes our services. It is not just part of our strategy; it is at the forefront of our mission to improve society and build better communities.
