Rufus Logan, director of BRE Scotland, told the publication: "This will highlight the innovative work going on in the Scottish construction industry and will challenge firms to develop new solutions to issues the sector will face in the not-too-distant future."
The newspaper added the Ravenscraig development will eventually be home to 10,000 people and create thousands of jobs.
