The U.K.’s Construction Debate: Is Inaction More Dangerous Than AI?
The real danger to U.K. construction isn’t that AI will replace people—it’s that poor design and lost expertise are costing billions before a single brick is laid. Mark Snell, Technical Director at Dalkia UK and a driving force at the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), explains why AI, regulatory change, and workforce shifts aren’t threats—they’re the tools to fix a system already under strain. From turning “lessons identified” into actual lessons learned to capturing the knowledge walking out the door, Snell makes the case that the future of the industry depends on confronting its design flaws now—before they become irreversible.

Why do most construction strategies fail (and how to fix them)?
We call it “strategy,” but what if that word has lost its meaning in construction? Helen Gawor breaks down why construction strategies fail—and what real strategy looks like when it inspires your people, not just your boardroom. She calls out the industry’s addiction to lagging indicators, the dangers of blame culture, and why a "no bad news" mindset kills performance. You want transformation? Start with psychological safety, kinesthetic learning, and a vision that inspires everyone to follow. If your strategy doesn’t change how people behave, it’s not a strategy—it’s theatre.

Who is accountable for innovation in construction?
Everyone says construction needs to innovate—but no one agrees on who’s actually responsible for making it happen. Is it the owner? The builders? The tech vendor? Or is innovation everyone’s job—and therefore no one’s?In this episode, Amy Marks, SVP of Innovation at Compass Datacenters, breaks down why innovation in construction gets stuck and what it really takes to move the needle.
