Annual "Hammers" Ceremony Honors Vectorworks Architect for Redefining Efficiency in Design.
COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks, Inc., is proud to announce that its flagship product, Vectorworks Architect, has been 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 using Vectorworks Architect.
Located at 70 Great Bridgewater Street in Manchester, the Havelock project transformed a dated office building, formerly known as Evershed House, into a modern, energy-efficient workspace. Utilizing Vectorworks Architect, OMI Architects collaborated closely with their project partners to coordinate design models, optimize building performance, and communicate design intent across 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 across the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. Winners were announced during a ceremony at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in London.
"We are delighted to be recognized by the Construction Computing Awards," said Rubina Siddiqui, AIA, senior product marketing director at Vectorworks. "This honor reaffirms our commitment to empowering design professionals with tools that combine creative freedom, workflow efficiency, and sustainable design. In a time when innovation, agility, and environmental responsibility are more vital than ever, Vectorworks Architect helps designers bring bold, sustainable ideas to life — and this award reflects that impact."
Vectorworks Architect empowers designers to sketch, model, and document within a fully integrated workflow. With powerful 2D graphics, advanced 3D modeling and visualization tools, and seamless cloud collaboration through 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 streamline sustainability and elevate design performance. Highlights include the Sustainability Dashboard for carbon calculations, intuitive Worksheet Slicing, enhanced Depth Cueing, and new Door and Window Assembly tools — all created to give architects even more freedom to design without limits.
