Welcome to the ME Tekla Awards 2016

The Tekla Awards showcase and reward the hardwork and innovation that goes into using software to solve engineering challenges, working collaboratively and delivering better outcomes for all involved.  The awards focus on projects of all shapes and sizes which have used Tekla software as part of the process for designing and 3D modelling a structure or where the use of Tekla software and BIM has aided collaboration and the digital construction process.

Winning an award will help raise your company profile and help attract new business by instilling that vital ingredient for success – trust.
