It goes without saying that it 2020 has been an exceptionally difficult year for everybody, but there is now light at the end of the tunnel, with a number of COVID-19 vaccines coming through successful trials and governments gearing up towards mass vaccination programmes.
Next year will still be tough due to the enormous cost of the pandemic, but we will be on an upward path towards a full recovery, with some very valuable lessons learned, a new appreciation of what and who are important to us, and a reorganisation of our working practices to take account of the wellbeing of our employees as well as the efficiency of our construction processes.
So let's start the celebrations early with the announcement of the winners of the 2020 Construction Computing Awards, which recognise the achievements of companies, software developers, teams and contractors in making an impact on the industry in these trying times. Our thanks must also go to the many readers who voted in each category, taking time out from the niggles of trying to keep work and projects on track whilst either working from home or battling to keep teams together in depleted offices. 2020 is drawing to a close - here's looking forward to a positive new start in 2021!
