Description of the Tekla BIM Awards
The Tekla BIM Awards is a structural project competition for our customers around the world who use Tekla software. The competition is a way to express appreciation towards our Tekla software customers and to share their success stories. Together with forward-thinking customers, Tekla software plays a significant role in building many complex and iconic structures, as well as in leading the construction industry's BIM development.
The competition is organized in two rounds. The first round is local in a country or a region. In the second round, the winners of these local competitions enter into the Tekla Global BIM Awards.
