Fall is award season in many of the technology industries, including software for the CAD industries. The UK-based Construction Computing Awards are affectionately known as “The Hammers” and seek to showcase and reward the very best tools and solutions for the effective design, construction, modification, and operations of residential and commercial buildings, plus civil engineering projects.
Vectorworks Winners
Vectorworks Architect 2023 won Architectural Design Product of the Year. “This award is a huge recognition and endorsement of Vectorworks’ focus on providing exceptional functionality and capability to the architectural market it supports,” said Vectorworks Senior Sales Director Adrian Slatter. “It has been a successful year for Vectorworks as many of our users have won numerous design awards, so this achievement reinforces our commitment to make Vectorworks Architect the tool of choice for architectural design, enabling architects to design without limits and showcase the incredible talent of their teams.”

Architosh Analysis
The Hammers are always an interesting event from the point of view of seeing the back and forth between the main product rivalries in various software categories. It is also valuable to see how more localized software solutions in the United Kingdom market appear as top choices with sizeable UK market share and how some of these solutions are quite unknown here in the United States. One category The Hammers is kind of missing is visualization.
