The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) have announced that ground engineering consultant and contractors The Sirius Group are bringing their exclusive Enabling Works Zone to the annual event set to take place between 19-21 May 2026, in Leeds. 

The Sirius Group provides end-to-end site development services, guiding clients from early site investigations, through planning, design and project delivery. With senior specialists across civil engineering, demolition, drilling, environmental services, planning, remediation, and site geotechnical disciplines, they simplify complex challenges through innovative and pragmatic solutions. Their unique blend of civil and environmental engineering expertise exceeds the capabilities of typical consultants and contractors, strengthened by firsthand experience developing multimillion pound renewable energy projects, and brownfield regeneration schemes. 

At UKREiiF 2026, the Sirius Group will deliver an industry first experience by bringing the full enabling works lifecycle together in one dynamic, live environment. Their showcase will demonstrate how early-stage insight, rigorous technical delivery and true construction readiness combine to fully derisk development sites. Visitors will be able to see, in real time, how Sirius integrates investigation, engineering, planning, remediation and onsite execution to create a seamless pathway from raw land to build ready platforms. The installation is designed to reveal the often-unseen processes that underpin successful development, highlighting how informed decisions made early on can save time, reduce cost, and unlock long-term project value and viability. 

Nathan Spencer, Managing Director at UKREiiF said: “We’re thrilled to welcome the Sirius Group to UKREiiF 2026 with this truly groundbreaking Enabling Works Zone. Their live, end-to-end showcase will offer delegates an unprecedented look at the often-unseen processes that make development possible. By bringing every stage of the enabling lifecycle into one space, Sirius will help investors, planners and developers understand how early insight and technical rigour can completely transform site viability. It’s an exciting, industry first addition that perfectly reflects the innovation and practical leadership UKREiiF aims to champion.” 

Chris Cooke, Group Business Development Manager at The Sirius Group said “We’re incredibly proud that UKREiiF has chosen Sirius to showcase such a critical stage of the development lifecycle. Enabling works are often the least understood but most decisive phase of any project — and with so many future schemes being discussed at UKREiiF that will require robust planning support and complex technical delivery, it’s the right conversation at the right time. 

Our Innovation Zone is designed to bring that journey to life — from pre-planning and site investigation through to remediation, earthworks and civil engineering. We want attendees to ask the practical questions that will shape their schemes, explore the equipment and expertise that ultimately turns drawings into deliverable sites, and leave with greater clarity and confidence. 

I’m really looking forward to meeting people, talking through live opportunities, and demonstrating how early engagement in enabling works can unlock real programme, cost and risk advantages.” 

UKREiiF is supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the fifth annual event will be held in Leeds on 19-21 May 2026. The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth, and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.
