Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) has the potential to revolutionise the built environment by enabling personalised education, automating routine tasks, fostering creative design, enhancing decision-making through data-driven insights, and significantly improving productivity across design, construction, and facility management processes.

As construction practitioners and academics engage with the ethical, pedagogical, and technical implications of this transformative technology, cross-sector collaboration will be essential to fully harness its potential responsibly.

The "Gen-AI in the Built Environment" Conference brings together educators, researchers, and industry leaders to explore the transformative potential of generative artificial intelligence within the construction sector.

Co-organised by Nottingham Trent University (NTU) and the Council of Heads of the Built Environment (CHOBE), this one-day event, taking place on 28 November 2025, will serve as a dynamic platform for examining emerging opportunities, addressing key challenges, and shaping future directions for Gen-AI in built environment education and practice.

The conference will feature thought-provoking presentations, interactive workshops, and opportunities for networking to facilitate the exchange of ideas and best practices. Attendees will gain insights into integrating Gen-AI into their research, teaching practices, and professional workflows, equipping them to leverage its potential in advancing knowledge, enhancing education, and improving industry outcomes.
