THE JUDGING CRITERIA
Our judging panel will be looking for:
► Collaboration between multiple participants, use of IFC and open BIM.
► Innovation through solving challenges with Tekla Structures or Tekla Structural Designer, perhaps a multi-material aspect or complexity of geometry.
► Have you used our Tekla Warehouse content? Perhaps you have written your own API to solve problems you were faced with.
► Most importantly the cool factor - Uniqueness of the project and creativity in the project execution.
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.
2020 SUCCESS
In 2020 it was fantastic to see two of our UK category winners being recognised in the Global BIM Awards. Mason Navarro Pledge received a Special Recognition for their Tekla Structural Designer entry on Twickenham Riverside Development Bid and Solve Structural Design winning the commercial category with their project ‘One Nine Elms’.
