Date: 10 November 2017
Company: Autodesk, Inc

Autodesk held the 11th annual Autodesk Hong Kong BIM Awards presentation ceremony on 10 November. The annual awards provide a platform to recognise organisations that have displayed exemplary use of building information modelling (BIM) in projects. The awards also include a student category for university students. Dr David Chung, Under Secretary for Innovation and Technology, and Ir Liu Chun Shan, Under Secretary for Development, were the guests of honour and award presenters.

By shining the spotlight on outstanding BIM applications, Autodesk hopes to inspire more organisations and talent to consider adopting BIM to enhance the productivity, collaboration and safety of their construction works. The government is also promoting the wider adoption of BIM for major projects in 2018, enabling industry experts to create and collaborate more effectively with minimised risks and resources.

Dr Wendy Lee, country sales manager of Autodesk, Hong Kong and Macau, said “The winning projects represent the future of making things for the AEC industry. The ground breaking nature of these great projects shows how the AEC industry is rapidly embracing connected BIM technologies.”

Autodesk also announced the availability of new software additions to its Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection. The new tools extend Revit models for virtual reality, fabrication, computational design and analysis support for BIM processes, from planning and design through preconstruction.
