Winners and nominees

An independent international jury of nine renowned experts and academics gathered to evaluate 134 projects that are spread worldwide over four continents. This year’s winners were selected in four categories and judged by the project originality, complexity and cutting-edge use of the software.

A “Special BIM Jury Prize” was also awarded to provide recognition to the advanced implementation of a BIM process and interoperability. In this ninth edition, Allplan and SCIA users got a voice and a “Prize of the Public” award was introduced. The winners are awarded a €1,500 cash prize each.
