Best New BIM Use | Best Industry Collaboration | The Sustainability Award
Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations for The Bim Summit Awards 2025. Congratulations to all the winners, who in addition to a diploma, received a Swedish Dala horse, specially designed by the Swedish artist Tove Tham.
Winner: JYSK
For their impressive BIM journey, moving from traditional 2D AutoCAD into a fully integrated 3D Store Design solution with Revit as the backbone. Their commitment has enabled faster and more accurate store designs to support company growth. This proves that BIM is not just for architects & engineers but also a way to tailor and customize solutions to fit specific needs with requirements on improving ROI and achieving sustainability targets.
Their innovative approach highlights the potential of BIM, making them the winner of the Best New BIM Use award in 2025.
Winner: Adapteo
For their innovative use of BIM in modular construction. They have enhanced planning precision, reduced revisions, and improved project execution thanks to transitioning to 3D modeling and implementing Autodesk Build. With an increased BIM maturity, they have optimized modeling processes, quality, and asset tracking, leading to saving 2,400 hours of non-optimal activities weekly. Their integration of BIM into their sustainable modular solutions across Northern Europe demonstrates how BIM drives smarter, more efficient, and adaptable building practices.
Winner: One Creative Environments
For their collaboration with Plymouth CAST and Building Spatial Intelligence and their innovative use of BIM and digital twins in the education sector. They have unlocked smart building insights and improved facility management by leveraging BIM to collect asset data and create a Digital Twin. This initiative has delivered energy savings, decarbonization, and enhanced efficiency across 35 schools. Combining each party’s expertise has resulted in an industry-first solution, showcasing the impact of BIM in education.

Through the initiative to work with digital twins and gain control over the management of their properties in the facility management system by utilizing the BIM model as the heart of the process. In the processes they manage to combine many of the resources of the industry by using BIMify’s AI to create the Architect Drawings, Symetri’s resources to enable the transformation of fire drawings and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to collaborate between the different stakeholders to the end use in SWG’s digital facility management system. By digitizing existing properties and gaining more complete control over the entire facility management stage, they have also connected its systematic fire protection by bringing fire data from the model into the facility management system in a process where ACC and the BIM models became the core of the workflow. Using the interactive drawings enable easier and safer fire protection work, which can ultimately save lives.

For really bringing AI and machine learning into the AEC industry. Have you ever tried ordering a Digital Twin? Countless of discussion about LOD and the detailing but no one knows what it really means in detail, when the 3D model is delivered. Automating parts of the model creating process using AI and machine learning they are helping the industry to streamline workflows and free up architects' time for more creative and strategic tasks. Moreover, by standardizing ordering processes for 3D models, there is no room for personal interpretation or different deliveries depending on the creator. Suddenly ordering a BIM model for an existing building, becomes as easy as ordering a Tesla online.
