Davitt Lamon, Head of Building Information Modelling at the National Standards Authority of Ireland, will serve as Judge for the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2026, bringing extensive expertise in BIM standards, digital construction, and information management to the evaluation of entries competing for recognition in construction excellence and innovation.

A recognised authority on Building Information Modelling and digital construction practices, Davitt Lamon leads work on BIM standards and certification supporting digital transformation across Ireland's construction sector. His unique career trajectory spanning industry, academia, and research standards-setting positions him to evaluate entries across multiple dimensions: practical implementation capability, information management sophistication, compliance with emerging standards, and strategic impact on sector-wide digital maturity. This breadth of perspective enables rigorous assessment of entries demonstrating innovation in digital construction methodologies and information-driven delivery.

Davitt's background includes leading digital construction and information management in practice, providing direct understanding of implementation challenges, stakeholder coordination requirements, and business value realisation from digital tools. His current role lecturing in BIM, construction, and data analytics at Technological University Dublin ensures his perspective remains informed by emerging talent, evolving industry expectations, and advancing technical capabilities.

His academic qualifications including an MSc in BIM & Management and Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Construction Analytics reflect sustained commitment to deepening understanding of digital construction integration and data-driven decision-making.

Davitt's PhD research focused on BIM and information management roles and competencies demonstrates his engagement with forward-thinking questions around how organisations can enhance digital maturity and extract greater value from information assets. His passion for helping organisations realise information value and improve digital delivery reflects understanding that technology implementation success depends on cultural adoption, capability development, and strategic alignment perspectives essential to evaluating entries that demonstrate genuine digital transformation rather than tactical software deployment.

Davitt Lamon's role as Judge ensures the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2026 maintains rigorous, digitally-informed evaluation standards recognising both current excellence and future-focused innovation. His expertise will guide fair, credible recognition of entries advancing Ireland's digital construction maturity.
