Excellence in the Use of Construction Software WINNER: GRAHAM
The winning entry showcased a complex project of exceptional workmanship. Despite challenges in the pre-construction phase, FOH – appointed as a management contractor – worked closely with the client and design team over 22 weeks. This collaborative effort delivered a project that exceeded the expectations of the client and users. FOH efficiently managed a complex tender process, identifying value engineering solutions, negotiating cost savings, and aligning with the client’s budget and schedule. This project provides students with a high-quality, flexible space that consolidates a wide array of services and functions as a ‘home away from home’ for students.

The judges were impressed by the major benefits of the CORA solution designed in-house by GRAHAM and developed by Cora Technologies, especially for the health and safety benefits for individuals on sites. The intuitive system permits reactive and proactive reporting, monitoring and analysis of all facets and elements of a robust, holistic, and integrated SHE management system. It facilitates inputs for incidents, observations and disciplines across the three strands of SHE, allows due diligence and compliance auditing of all sites, as well as recording energy, fuel, waste and water usage to monitor and manage the journey to net zero.
