Changing the way the Built Environment thinks about manufacturers' data
The future of the built environment depends on data; structured, accessible, and actionable. At the MIH, we are pioneering the acceleration of manufacturer data to transform how industries design, build, and operate. By unlocking the full potential of data delivery and mapping, we empower businesses in the supply chain to drive efficiency, enhance collaboration, and shape a smarter, more connected world.
About the MIH
The Manufacturers’ Information Hub (MIH) will help manufacturers to share construction product information via a single best practice interface, cutting cost, time and duplication. Manufacturers will own the solution to their data sharing needs and keep control of their data via a collaborative not-for-profit partnership.
The MIH aligns with best practice referenced in the plain language guide, “Digitisation for Construction Product Manufacturers” by championing data-driven innovation, transparency, and industry transformation. Like the guide’s call for structured, secure, and interoperable data, The MIH emphasizes digitisation as the foundation for efficiency, safety, and sustainability in construction. Both advocate for manufacturer ownership of data, collaboration, and proactive adaptation to shape a smarter, more accountable built environment.
01
The construction industry faces fragmented product data, high costs, and inefficient digital connections.
02
New regulations (such as CPR and ESPR requiring Digital Product Passports) will require better data management
03
Current solutions are costly, inefficient, confusing, and often controlled by third-party providers.
