Out of interest, I thought I'd have a look at some of the ongoing UK projects Aconex is involved in. This might well be one of the biggest, at US$16.5 billion, and is due for completion in 2025:
London, England: The Battersea Power Station development
The renovation of the Battersea Power Station — the iconic building featured on the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album “Animals” — is at the centre of a larger mega-development in London’s Nine Elms neighbourhood.

The estimated US$16.5 billion project will include new residential and commercial complexes, including apartments, hotels, and offices. Construction is slated to proceed in seven phases — the first began in 2014 and the last is expected to finish in 2025.
Spanning over 8 million square feet, the construction site for the Battersea Power Station development is the largest in London in 30 years, according to Dave Twohig, chief development officer at Battersea Power Station Development Company.
Apple, the complex’s anchor tenant, will move its London headquarters to the former power station in 2021. The company is expected to take up 40% of the building’s available office space.
Pop veteran Sting, celebrity survival expert Bear Grylls and 1,400 Apple office workers will soon be neighbours – living and working alongside each other at Battersea Power Station.
