Monthly Register — August 2026Late-August hyperscaler capital-spending commentary is not construction-AI spend. Public tender lists and contractor pricing tables are closer to a job, and they are still not a clause.
Monthly Register — July 2026A circulated figure puts 39 per cent of non-physical construction work within theoretical reach of automation, across 150 workflows. The lead is the taxonomy, not the percentage.
Monthly Register — June 2026NXT BLD and Digital Construction Week filled London. The halls are weather. The lead is agentic BIM — measured by what a stand can demonstrate, not by what a slide can claim.
Monthly Register — May 2026Published labour-exposure work typically puts construction below office jobs on observed AI coverage. That ranking describes the mix of the work. It is a position, not a consolation.
Monthly Register — April 2026The ISO 19650:2026 draft revision analysis lands — briefing notes, webinars, and ‘aligned’ claims. The lead is what the commentary says the draft changes, and who has to rewrite the appointment first.
Monthly Register — March 2026Gulf information-management procurement does not close with a Northern first quarter. A January Riyadh hall opened the conversation; Ramadan then held the signature until after Eid.
Monthly Register — February 2026Consultancies are buying engineering AI. The lead is not a press-release number. It is who owns the project data the model sat on — and whether the client can still take a complete copy home.
Monthly Register — January 2026January is when last year’s construction-technology funding wrap-ups land: a large headline total, a thin genuine-AI slice, and most of that slice sitting in one robotics name.
Monthly Register — December 2025Year in review. Contractor AI-adoption reporting spent 2025 in two columns — firms evaluating a tool, and firms that had funded a rollout — and the gap between those columns is the information-management story.
Monthly Register — November 2025Big 5 Global occupied Dubai from 24 to 27 November. The halls are weather. The signal is the three-mandate problem GCC delivery teams keep raising: one project, three portals, one drawing set.
Monthly Register — October 2025Autodesk University closed in September. October is when the roadmaps hit the job — and what they signal about who owns project data once the files sit in a vendor cloud.
Monthly Register — September 2025First anniversary of this register. Twelve months of arguments about who can prove the issued set — and a September that earned no show, no clause, and no funding print to hide behind.
Monthly Register — August 2025A short mid-summer register. The ISO 19650 revision of Parts 1, 2 and 3 sat after a closed committee-draft comment period and before a Draft International Standard. The published 2018 and 2020 texts were still the working language on live jobs.
Monthly Register — July 2025Mid-year review. Half-year construction-technology funding, and the platform consolidation running underneath it — one invoice is not one issued set.
Monthly Register — June 2025Digital Construction Week and NXT BLD filled London in June. The halls are weather. The signals are openBIM and AI — measured by whether they change a published container or only a slide.
Monthly Register — May 2025Construction Safety Week asked for Plan, Own and Commit. Set that against the published incident tables: falls still lead, often from ordinary heights, and a stand-down that cannot name a revision has not moved the record.
Monthly Register — April 2025CDM 2015 turns ten. The last published HSE review is still 2020, L153 is still the guidance, and duty-holder practice changed the names on the forms more than it changed the file.
Monthly Register — March 2025The first quarter closed without a named March lead. Read contech funding for what it says about information platforms — mix and category, not a headline total this register will invent.
Monthly Register — February 2025Big 5 Construct Saudi closed its two-week Riyadh edition. The residue is how gigaproject information requirements are being priced — and whether that price includes a reconstructable audit trail.
Monthly Register — January 2025One year on from the January 2024 BIM-at-permit conversation in Saudi Arabia and Dubai: what typically changed at the gate, and what still arrives as a drawing pack with a new cover.
Monthly Register — December 2024Year in review. CDE sprawl, ISO 19650 in use, UK golden-thread records, and GCC BIM-at-permit talk — the 2024 information-management stories that carried into the new year.
Monthly Register — November 2024Big 5 Global closed in Dubai. The month's weather is what GCC clients tend to ask vendors for — an issued set, a handover operations can use, and a permit BIM — not which hall was busiest.
Monthly Register — October 2024Autodesk University week, and what platform roadmaps signal about who owns project data once the files sit in a vendor cloud — plus the Building Safety Act amendments that commenced on 31 October.
Monthly Register — September 2024Launch issue. The three-part shape this register keeps for two years, and the late-2024 information-management conversation it is meant to record.
