The UK Tekla Awards create an opportunity to showcase projects modelled using Tekla Software within the UK and Ireland. Our Awards have been successfully running for many years to recognise and promote the hard work, innovation, and pride that Tekla users put into their projects. We welcome projects of all sizes, complexity and that demonstrate collaboration and innovation. There is no cost to enter the UK Tekla Awards and you can enter more than one project but only one project per category.
All projects entered are reviewed by our judging panel who then decide on the winners of each category. Alongside this, there is a public vote which allows the public to review and vote for their favourite project entry. The winners of the UK Tekla Awards 2021 and 2022 are eligible to enter the Tekla Global BIM Awards 2022.*
*The Tekla Structural Designer category is UK and Ireland only, the winner of this category will not be put through to the Tekla Global BIM Awards.
