The 43rd edition of Big 5 will be taking place at a time when the construction sector is facing unprecedented challenges and transformation.

“There are at least 10 touch points for the Big 5 2022 that clearly demonstrate the likely impact this year’s event will have on shifting the industry’s dial across a spread of issues and opportunities,” said Ben Greenish, SVP – construction at DMG Events, the organiser of the event.

“High up the 2022 differential scale is the strong government support this year’s event has secured,” he said.
