With over 30 years’ experience of
delivering numerous projects and innovative programs as well as research,
consultancy, and teaching in construction, Steven’s specialized knowledge and
publications include the application of digital ways of working, innovation,
collaborative working, and digital transformation in construction. Dr Yeomans
has supported several industrial expert groups working on digital
transformation and is MTC’s representative expert on BSI committees: CB/005
Digitalization of the Built Environment Strategy, and B/555 Committee for
Construction design, modelling and data exchange. Steven was also a steering
group member responsible for the production of PAS 14191:2020 Built environment
– Operation of interconnected construction data dictionaries (which has
significant links to the proposal).

in 2021, at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) where he was responsible
for the business innovation and research programme and the overall outputs of
the Construction Innovation Hub (part of £80m+ IUK funding). Before this,
Steven was Head of Digital at BRE with responsibility for their digital
construction programme. From 2010 to 2019, Steven was Centre Research Manager and
Deputy Director of the Centre for Innovation and Collaborative Construction
