Annual Hammers ceremony honors Vectorworks architects for redefining efficiency in design.
COLUMBIA, MD., November 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vectorworks, Inc., a global provider of design and BIM software, is proud to announce that its flagship product, Vectorworks Architect, was named Architectural Design Software of the Year at this year's Construction Computing Awards. Additionally, OMI Architects received the Sustainability Project of the Year award for their work on the Havelock project, designed with Vectorworks Architect.
Located at 70 Great Bridgewater Street in Manchester, the Havelock project transformed an outdated office building, formerly known as Evershed House, into a modern, energy efficient workspace. Using Vectorworks Architect, OMI Architects worked closely with their project partners to coordinate design models, optimize building performance, and communicate design intent at every stage of development.
Commonly referred to as “The Hammers,” the Construction Computing Awards recognize outstanding technologies, tools and solutions that drive innovation and efficiency in the architecture, engineering and construction industries. The winners were announced at a ceremony at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in London.
“We are thrilled to be recognized by the Construction Computing Awards,” said Rubina Siddiqui, AIA, Senior Product Marketing Director at Vectorworks. “This award reinforces our commitment to equip design professionals with tools that combine creative freedom, workflow efficiency and sustainable design. At a time when innovation, agility and environmental responsibility are more important than ever, Vectorworks Architect helps designers bring bold, sustainable ideas to life – and this award reflects that impact.”
Vectorworks Architect allows designers to sketch, model, and document in a fully integrated workflow. With powerful 2D graphics, advanced 3D modeling and visualization tools, and seamless cloud collaboration via Vectorworks Cloud Services, the software enables unparalleled creative expression and technical precision.
The newly released Vectorworks Architect 2026 builds on this legacy with tools that optimize sustainability and increase design performance. Highlights include the sustainability dashboard for carbon calculations, intuitive worksheet slicing, improved depth cueing and new door and window assembly tools – all designed to give architects even more freedom to design without limits.
The full list of winners can be found here and will also be featured in the November/December issues of CAD User and Construction Computing magazines.
