The First BuildEXT BIM Diploma competition Has Concluded

2025. 22 May marked the end of BuildEXT’s first-ever BIM Diploma competition, which aimed to support young engineering students who are open to digital design and innovative BIM solutions for their thesis. The competition was open to students of civil, architectural, mechanical, and electrical engineering who graduated in 2024 and completed their thesis using Revit-based modelling.

The entries were judged by a panel of BuildEXT’s leading designers and BIM experts. The scoring was based on innovative approaches, structured models and the practical applicability of digital tools.
