We’re delighted to announce Specifier Summit 2025, a pivotal gathering of architects, specifiers, innovators, and construction professionals. The event is scheduled for Thursday 6 November 2025, from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm at Knebworth Barns, Hertfordshire
Under the theme “Rethinking Materials. Redefining Construction.”, Specifier Summit 2025 will explore how Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and next-generation materials are reshaping the built environment. The event brings together thought leaders to challenge conventional thinking and map the future of smarter, faster, and more sustainable building solutions.
Headline speaker
The event welcomes Professor Michael H. Ramage, CEO & Co-founder of Cambridge Transformation Labs, Director of the Centre for Natural Material Innovation, and Professor of Architecture and Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Prof Ramage is an interdisciplinary expert in geological, archaeological, structural and architectural innovation.
His keynote will explore how engineered timber and MMC offer scalable, low-carbon strategies that unlock high-performance, regenerative construction – redirecting the industry toward materials we can grow, not mine.
What to expect
- Inspiring keynote from Prof Michael H. Ramage
- Interactive Q&A panel featuring innovators and specifiers
- Dedicated networking sessions with industry leaders
- A sharp focus on low-carbon building methods, and systemic innovation across the supply chain
Why it matters
The UK construction sector is under mounting pressure – facing a housing shortfall of over 4 million homes, rising material costs, and a projected skills gap of 250,000 by 2028. These challenges demand agile, regenerative approaches that balance delivery speed, compliance, sustainability, and circular economy principles.
Specifier Summit 2025 addresses this critical moment: it is not just about innovation, it’s about aligning procurement, specification, and brand messaging with broader environmental, economic, and regulatory objectives.
Who should attend
This event is designed for manufacturers, consultants, suppliers, specifiers, architects, housing providers, policymakers, and contractors who influence the built environment.
