YTL Construction UK Expands Revizto Partnership for Urban Regeneration in Bristol

YTL Construction UK is embarking on a significant expansion of its partnership with Revizto, a leading digital collaboration platform designed to facilitate seamless cooperation among architects, engineers, contractors, and owners. This expansion focuses on the large-scale Brabazon urban regeneration project located in Bristol, aiming to transform the former Filton Airfield into a vibrant new town that will bring significant socio-economic benefits to the area.

Transforming Bristol's Urban Landscape

Brabazon stands as one of the most ambitious regeneration initiatives in the UK, covering a length of over 3 kilometers. Spearheaded by YTL UK Group, this extensive project is set to provide more than 6,500 new homes, student accommodations, state-of-the-art facilities such as a major arena, commercial hubs, educational institutions, retail spots, and lush public parks. Once completed, the development is anticipated to generate around 30,000 jobs and deliver a projected £5 billion in social and economic value to the region.

The project has already seen the integration of Revizto during the initial design phase of the YTL Arena, which boasts a capacity of 20,000. Recognizing the importance of a platform that enhances accessibility to 3D models, simplifies visualization, and expedites quantity take-offs, Dean Paton, YTL UK's Digital Construction Lead, championed the introduction of Revizto to the company. This strategic move grants YTL UK a unique advantage, as they serve as both the developer and general contractor, ensuring continuity throughout project lifecycles.

A Strategic Digital Collaboration

By incorporating Revizto early in the development process, YTL UK can ensure improved coordination among various stakeholders and promote efficient project delivery, which is vital in avoiding costly rework and maintaining schedule adherence for complex ventures. Dean Paton expressed his enthusiasm about integrating Revizto:

“When I joined YTL Construction UK, I knew Revizto was the right tool to bring in. At the Arena, we needed a solution that would give everyone—project planners, design managers, consultants—easy access to models. Revizto not only helps us visualize and break down complex designs, but also saves huge amounts of time in calculating quantities and costs.”

This expansion of Revizto's implementation across Brabazon reinforces YTL UK's commitment to achieving consistency and efficiency from project inception through to completion.

Arman Gukasyan, the founder and CEO of Revizto, lauded the partnership, acknowledging the significant impact of YTL's forward-thinking approach to project delivery. He stated,

“We are delighted that YTL Construction UK has brought Revizto in on such a transformative development. Brabazon is not just a construction project; it’s the creation of a vibrant new town that will shape Bristol’s future.”

The Legacy of Brabazon

The revitalization of the Filton Airfield—the birthplace of the renowned Concorde and a site steeped in aviation history—underscores the visionary nature of the Brabazon development. As this area transitions into a sustainable new town, residents will enjoy a diverse array of amenities including independent stores, innovative workplaces, and ample green spaces designed for community engagement.

YTL Developments’ ambitious plan includes constructing up to 6,500 homes across varied types and tenures, fostering a lively community atmosphere. New educational facilities, parks, and community amenities will enhance the quality of life for future residents.

Moreover, local infrastructure improvements are set to exceed £100 million, with transportation routes such as a new railway station aimed at connecting Brabazon to Bristol Temple Meads within 15 minutes, alongside dedicated metrobus services crisscrossing the new town.

This transformative project is already achieving recognition, winning several national awards, such as 'Best Use of Brownfield Land' at The Planning Awards 2025, and 'Large Housing Development of the Year' at the Brick Awards 2024.

Through the strategic expansion of its partnership with Revizto, YTL Construction UK is positioning itself not just as a builder but as a pioneer in the modernization of urban development, showcasing the power of digital tools in facilitating large-scale, impactful regeneration projects. The lessons learned and methods developed through the Brabazon initiative are expected to influence future urban projects across the country and beyond, establishing a new benchmark for successful collaboration in construction and design.
