Digital Contractor of the Year shortlist 2026

To tackle these challenges, McAvoy implemented a holistic digital strategy designed to unify design, manufacturing, logistics and site delivery into a seamless and data-driven ecosystem. The company adopted Procore as its single source of truth, embedding 19650-aligned processes across the platform. Metadata workflows were automated to ensure consistent file structures, reliable records and full auditability.

In January 2025, Robertson Group initiated a business-wide lessons learned review to enhance operational efficiency and drive future success. As part of this review, the digital construction team identified areas to strengthen digital issue management to better protect programme and cost, including risk capture, clarity of ownership and closure, serious issues not surfaced or escalated, and reporting.

The contractor retained the Auotdesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Issues module as its single platform of choice, because the gap lay in procedures and configuration, not the software. It expanded issue management from a quality-only focus to comprehensively cover all causes of programme delay, including design, SHE, logistics, interfaces, client actions and third-party approvals, among others.
