The Centre for Digital Built Britain is a partnership between the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the University of Cambridge. It seeks to understand how the construction and infrastructure sectors can use a digital approach to better design, build, operate and integrate the built environment.
The Centre was established by HM Government in the 2017 Autumn Budget as the home of the UK BIM and Digital Built Britain Programmes. The Centre's founding mission is 'to develop and demonstrate policy and practical insights that will enable the exploitation of new and emerging technologies, data and analytics to enhance the nature and built environment, thereby driving up commercial competitiveness and productivity, as well as citizen quality of life and well-being.'
