Top 10: Chief Technical Officers in Construction

Keeping competitive in construction requires deploying the latest technology.

From digital site models instead of printed drawings to data-driven modelling in place of end-stage checks, technology helps optimise operations and Chief Technology Officers lead these developments.

Their strategies involve digital construction tools, building information modelling, cybersecurity, data platforms and emerging innovations such as robotics, IoT and artificial intelligence.

A CTO – or equivalent, such as Chief Digital Officer or Chief Engineer – increasingly sits at the heart of efficiency, safety and sustainability efforts, translating engineering ambition into deployable technology. When successful, their company becomes a construction powerhouse.

Construction Digital has ranked the Top 10 tech leaders based on their company’s annual revenue.
