Its been a busy year in the UK construction industry as a whole with practices growing in size and investing in CAD and BIM. Over the last year we have been fortunate enough to work with some really fantastic award winning practices.

In December alone we visited Berlin, London, Bristol, Bath, Cardiff and York providing  Vectorworks Training to some amazing practices.

In the last two weeks alone we have worked with Kendall Kingscott, Bisset Adams, Sarah Wigglesworth Architects, Dyson and Studio Walmsley.

Please let us know if we can help your practice improve their Vectorworks CAD, 3d & BIM Skills in 2015 to prepare you for the Government mandate for publicly financed projects that will require BIM by 2016.

For now, I think we are all ready for a good break.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Vectorworks Wins Editor's Choice Award!

Last Thursday evening the UK Vectorworks Team attended the Construction Computing Awards.
 


After a ceremony on tender hooks most of the night, I'm delighted to announce that Vectorworks won the Editor's Choice award, one of the most prestigious awards of the evening.



In the words of David Chadwick, Editor of CADUser and Construction Computing, David announced:


"With BIM threatening to create a two-tier industry --those that BIM, and those that don't -- Vectorworks Architect has enabled architects and designers to bridge the gap by not only providing a total design solution for larger public projects, where BIM is a necessity, but also by providing the same tools to smaller practices engaged on local and domestic projects where they can see, and reap, the benefits of using BIM. I was happy, therefore, to present the Editors Choice award to Computers Unlimited, the distributors of Vectorworks, for their unstinting effort in promoting the application as a natural vehicle for the BIM workflow."!

Congratulations also go to a couple of Vectorworks users who were runners up for the Best BIM project for 2014 and Best Use of Visualisation 2014:
