The new Transforming Infrastructure Performance (TIP) Roadmap to 2030 gives a new boost to the transformation of construction that is underway in the UK.

Last year, COP 26 drew all eyes on the UK as world leaders and sustainability experts came together to plot out a renewed strategy for a greener future.

The TIP Roadmap to 2030 lays out a vision for a more effective and more efficient built environment and highlights how digital technology can have a transformative impact on the construction industry.

Over the last decade, we’ve seen a rapid rise in the number of ‘mission critical’ projects receiving planning consent, with shovels regularly going into the ground across the UK to deliver these essential pieces of infrastructure.
