THE CONSTRUCTION RESET STAGE AGENDA IS LIVE FOR UK CONSTRUCTION WEEK BIRMINGHAM
)
The wait is over. The agenda for The Construction RESET Stage, sponsored by Barbour ABI, is now live.
This September at UK Construction Week Birmingham, some of construction’s most influential leaders will come together to confront the biggest challenges facing the industry, explore the opportunities ahead and debate what needs to happen next.
Built around three core themes, Building Better, Building Smarter and Building Responsibly, The Construction RESET Stage will tackle the issues shaping construction’s future. From housing delivery, skills and procurement to sustainability, AI, retrofit and digital-first construction, the programme is designed to move the conversation forward and focus on practical change.

The Construction RESET Agenda
At the heart of the stage are four major areas of debate, each addressing a question that will have a significant impact on the future of UK construction.
The Construction RESET
How can construction unlock growth, improve performance and build the future-ready workforce the industry needs?
The industry is under pressure to deliver more while improving productivity, strengthening skills and adapting to new ways of working. The Construction RESET will bring leaders together to examine what needs to change across the sector and how construction can create the conditions for sustainable, long-term growth.
Expect conversations spanning skills, procurement, productivity, industrialisation and the changing needs of the construction workforce.
Housing at Scale
Could planning reform, investment and new delivery models unlock the biggest opportunity for housebuilding in a generation?
Housing delivery remains one of the UK’s most pressing challenges. Sessions will explore what it will take to accelerate housebuilding, from planning and investment to partnerships, regeneration and innovative delivery models.
The discussion will look beyond targets to examine the practical changes required to deliver more homes, more effectively and at greater scale.
AI in Construction
Move beyond the hype and see how AI is already improving productivity, project controls, design coordination and data management.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from conversation to implementation across the built environment.
The Construction RESET Stage will examine where AI is already delivering value, how businesses can adopt digital-first approaches and what construction leaders need to understand as technology becomes increasingly embedded across projects and organisations.
From better project controls and smarter use of data to design coordination and productivity, the focus will be firmly on real-world applications.
Net Zero That Pays
Explore how carbon, material choices, energy performance and retrofit can deliver better project outcomes and greater competitive advantage.
Sustainability must increasingly work commercially as well as environmentally.
The programme will explore how better decisions around carbon, materials, energy performance and retrofit can improve project outcomes while creating business value.
With retrofit, Passivhaus, energy efficiency and low-carbon construction continuing to shape the industry, the sessions will examine how responsible construction can become a source of competitive advantage rather than simply a compliance requirement.

Together, they will bring different perspectives to the challenges facing construction and, crucially, the actions needed to address them.
Building Better. Building Smarter. Building Responsibly.
The Construction RESET Stage is about more than identifying the industry’s challenges. It is about asking what comes next.
How can the sector deliver housing at the scale the country needs? How should construction respond to a changing skills landscape? Where can AI make a measurable difference today? How can businesses make sustainability commercially valuable? And what needs to change across procurement, investment and delivery to improve industry performance?
These are the conversations that will take centre stage at UK Construction Week Birmingham this September.
With 250+ leading brands, 200 speakers and more than 150 hours of CPD-accredited content, UKCW Birmingham will bring the industry together to discover new ideas, debate the issues that matter and help deliver construction’s next chapter.
The agenda is live. The questions are set. Now it’s time to reset.
