The first ever National Canada BIM Council (CanBIM) Awards were recently handed out, celebrating and recognizing excellence in Canada’s Building Information Modeling (BIM) community. Awards were given out in three categories, Innovation, Interoperability, and Best In BIM.
Quebec’s Pomerleau took home two top honours for Innovation and Best In BIM as the company "demonstrated exemplary innovation for their work on Place Bell – Cultural and Sports Centre in Laval, Que., and demonstrated the Best In BIM for outstanding implementation throughout design to construction on the multifunctional amphitheatre Videotron Centre in Laval, Que," explains a release. When it comes to the Innovation award category, CanBIM states Pomerleau edged out projects from Turner Fleischer Architects in Toronto with their Laser Scanning Implementation Technology, and Calgary’s GEC Architecture’s YYC/TCP Baggage Handling System;
McGill University Health Centre Glen Site from SNC Lavalin Montreal and DIALOG’s Brookfield Place Calgary were the other contenders in the Best In BIM award category.
"All nominees demonstrated great execution of BIM," said Allan Partridge, CanBIM president in a statement.
In the interoperability category, architecture and interior design firm DIALOG, from their Calgary regional office, secured the top spot.
According to CanBIM, DIALOG was recognized for demonstrating exceptional, seamless data transfer across software platforms on the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital (Alta.) project. GEC Architecture for YYC/TCP Baggage Handling System and Halifax-based surveying and engineering firm Servant, Dunbrack, McKenzie & MacDonald for the BioVectra Plant Renovation were runners up in this category.
