Applications are open to join our 2026 cohort of up-and-coming industry leaders
After an overwhelmingly positive response to our 2025 list of 40 talented individuals under 40, we are consulting the industry once more to select our 2026 cohort.
We are looking for high achievers who can demonstrate success in their chosen trade or profession – from site managers to planners to sustainability consultants to digital tech experts, and every role in between.

If you want to nominate yourself or someone who is having a big impact through their work in the built environment and could one day be a future leader, please complete the following application: >> Building’s 40 Under 40 2026 application
To be considered for the list, the nominee needs to be under 40 at the time of application and will need to answer a simple Q&A style survey. Companies can submit more than one nomination for consideration but we will only admit one staff member per company to the final published list.
Building’s editorial team will select the final 40 names by taking into account people’s stand-out achievements at work and in the wider industry, as well as looking for representation of the wide range of roles and disciplines in different sectors.
Our call for entries closes on 8 May. Successful applicants will appear in Building’s 40 Under 40 coverage due to be published later in the year and will be invited to editorial focus groups to inform coverage of industry issues.
