Designing tomorrow’s construction, today
The construction industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. Advances in digital technologies, automation, and off-site construction methods are transforming how buildings are designed, manufactured, and delivered, unlocking new opportunities to improve productivity, quality and sustainability.
Transforming Construction with Off-Site Methods and Technologies (TCOT 2026) brings together researchers, industry leaders and innovators to explore the latest developments shaping the future of construction.
Hosted at Northumbria University in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, from August 18 - 20, 2026, the conference will feature keynote speakers, peer-reviewed research, technical workshops, and industry case studies.
TCOT 2026 is a collaborative initiative of Northumbria University, the University of New Brunswick Off-site Construction Research Centre (OCRC) and CIB – International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction.
