SDE Digital Awards 2025

The Society of Digital Engineering Awards look to recognise anyone who works in the built environment who is contributing to the digitalisation of what we do, where we live and how we experience it.

Entries for the 2025 awards are now open, and the full list of categories, divided into People, Organisations, and Processes, can be found below, along with the links to enter.

From all the category winners, we will choose the Digital Champion. This will be the entry that our judges feel best exemplifies what the Society of Digital Engineering stands for and whose contribution to our industry deserves special recognition.

Our awards ceremony will take place at the London Centre, home of NLA and will include a technical presentation, networking and refreshments.

Sponsorship opportunities are available, email [email protected] to learn more.

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Hywel Davies HonFCIBSE, HonFCABE as our guest speaker at the SDE Awards Night 2025.

With over 40 years in the building services and construction industry, Hywel served as Technical Director at CIBSE from 2007 to 2023. He played a key role in shaping the industry’s response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, chaired the Building Regulations Advisory Committee, and continues to advise on building safety, retrofit standards, and engineering competence.

Hywel has been a champion of clear policy, technical excellence, and collaborative change. He remains closely involved with the Society of Digital Engineering, having supported its development from the very beginning.

Before the awards ceremony, Hywel will speak on the cultural transformation needed to drive digital innovation in the built environment - highlighting the role of digital leaders in fostering openness, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
