2017 awards<br />

Constructive praise!<br />
There are challenges and circumstances aplenty currently<br />
facing the construction industry, which we can either submit<br />
to or treat as opportunities. I like to think that the companies<br />
who get involved in The Construction Computing Awards, either by<br />
submitting projects, voting or simply enjoying a great evening out<br />
at the awards ceremony, are the ones who fall into the latter<br />
category. The next couple of decades are going to see substantial<br />
changes taking place in the development of smart cities,<br />
infrastructure and sustainability, and the companies that fail to fully<br />
engage with these changes are the ones that will fall by the<br />
wayside.<br />
This year's ceremony played host to an unplanned common<br />
theme. Bill Hill, CEO of the award's chosen charity, Lighthouse Club<br />
UK, highlighted the fact that as an industry we have the highest<br />
proportion of workplace injuries in the country. It was apt then that<br />
the recipient of the 2017 Editors Choice award was Human<br />
Recognition Systems, whose solutions promote Health and Safety<br />
in the workplace.<br />
Other winners on the night included Zaha Hadid Architects with<br />
CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE, who won the Collaboration Project of the<br />
Year for their work on The Danjiang Bridge, Solibri UK, who won<br />
Product of the Year for Solibri Model Checker, and UK BIM Alliance,<br />
who won Team of the Year for their work in digitally transforming the<br />
construction and infrastructure sectors. You will find more details on<br />
all of our 2017 winners across the following pages. It just remains<br />
for us to say congratulations once again to all of our winners and<br />
runners-up, and a big 'thank you' to everyone who took the time to<br />
vote online. www.constructioncomputingawards.co.uk<br />
Innovation of the Year<br />
WINNER: Glider Technology Ltd for GliderBIM<br />
RUNNER-UP: ClearEdge 3D for Verity<br />
To win Innovation of the Year for our GliderBIM software was an awesome feat for a company that is still less<br />
than two years old. Being recognised nationwide for bringing much needed innovation to the construction<br />
and asset management industries is a real thrill for us. We are so excited about the future of GliderBIM; we<br />
are only just getting started! We are planning to bring more innovation in the New Year, which will take<br />
GliderBIM to the next level. Watch this space…<br />
