This category recognizes projects that demonstrate digital innovation in 4D modeling to plan and optimize construction, including leveraging project performance and cost management workflows. Please showcase your innovative use of SYNCHRO software, either independently or combined with other Bentley software across the entire project and asset lifecycle.

Please include any quantitative results relating to cost savings and productivity, as well as quality and safety, if applicable. Remember to include high-quality visuals—such as images, screenshots, animations, charts, videos, and diagrams—and provide actual models and product screenshots. Please also provide examples of how you are leveraging digital twins and AI across the lifecycle to advance project delivery and enhance asset performance.

Criteria 1

Demonstrate how 4D multidiscipline models were used to:

• Enable digital rehearsals to optimize and simulate the ideal construction path.
• Identify and resolve issues with clashes, schedule, costs, resources, and supply chain logistics prior to actual construction.
• Perform 4D/5D model-based QTO complete with work breakdown structure and cost codes to create quick and accurate cost estimates.
• Enrich the digital twin (Bentley’s iTwin).

Criteria 2

Demonstrate increased project efficiencies, including better:

• Project transparency.
• Team communication and collaboration.
• Supply chain management.

Criteria 3

Provide measured/quantified return on investment (ROI) achieved using Bentley software, including:

• Cost savings (energy efficiency, water loss, design, construction and maintenance costs).
• Time savings.
• Resource optimization.
• Risk management (mitigation measures and solutions).

Criteria 4

Showcase sustainability impact of the project (climate adaptation, society, community, safety, environmental, etc.), including:

• Energy savings.
• Lower carbon footprint.
• Improved resilience.
• Improved quality of life.
• Mitigated risk.

Submissions must include high-quality, engaging, and informative images, screenshots, models, simulations, animations and movies, charts, and/or diagrams.
