Impact stages

The Impact Stages are curated by our Impact Partners. The sessions are built around case studies to ensure you gain practical, real-world knowledge.

Join us at Futurebuild 2025 to gain CPD credits, the tools, insights, and connections you need to stay ahead of industry trends and make your projects more sustainable and impactful.

The challenge is to deliver beautiful, net-zero, climate-resilient buildings with high safety and long-term maintenance standards.

Sponsored by HG Matthews and featuring insights from top organisations, this Impact Stage covers key aspects of design, including Passivhaus standards, modular construction, lighting, acoustics, and the Future Homes Standard—equipping you with essential tools for sustainable building.

As decarbonisation targets loom, reducing resource use, boosting efficiency, and increasing renewables are essential. Sponsored by Kensa and featuring insights from key organisations like Bioregional and CIBSE, this Impact Stage covers critical energy issues in construction, offering policy updates and practical tools to help you lead the industry’s low-carbon transition.

Material choice is vital for a circular economy, cutting carbon and boosting sustainability. Sponsored by Aggregate Industries, this Impact Stage—featuring insights from Bioregional, ICE, and UKGBC—focuses on selecting sustainable materials for new builds and retrofits. Discover how traceable supply chains and waste reduction drive greener projects and impactful leadership.

The Placemaking programme, sponsored by Hahn Plastics, addresses all aspects of the built environment beyond buildings. In 2025, the Placemaking Impact Stage—curated with partners like CIWEM, RSPB, and UKGBC—will spotlight water management, urban biodiversity, and sustainable transport, offering strategies to create resilient, connected urban spaces. Gain valuable insights to enhance your projects and support vibrant, sustainable communities.

FutureX Digital Disruptors, sponsored by One Click LCA, will demonstrate how digital transformation can revolutionise construction through innovation and experimentation. Highlights include nima’s Information Management Initiative, CIOB’s updated Client Guide, and Digital 101 sessions with experts like Mark Enzer OBE and Jamie Johnson MBE. Industry leaders will explore AI-driven design, net-zero strategies, and the circular economy.
