Trimble opens entries for the 2026 Construction Innovation Awards

Applications have officially opened for the annual Trimble Construction Innovation Awards program that recognizes innovators and educators driving transformation across the construction industry using Trimble hardware or software solutions. The program honours those who use technology and data in the office and in the field to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and shape the next generation of industry talent through education and advocacy. 

Expanded awards category in 2026

The awards program has expanded this year to include a new outstanding educator category, recognizing K-12 and higher-education teachers who are preparing the next generation of industry leaders through innovative technology integration and career advocacy. 

Eligible applicants include North American architecture, engineering, construction, and geospatial firms that use Trimble hardware or software solutions, as well as K-12 and higher-education educators driving technology integration in the classroom. Award winners will receive a complimentary pass to Trimble Dimensions, held November 9-11, 2026, in Las Vegas. 

Award categories: 

• Connected ecosystem: Demonstrates how the integration of two or more Trimble solutions — or Trimble technology combined with third-party solutions — enhances quality, productivity, efficiency, or other measurable benefits beyond what a single solution could achieve independently.
• Process transformation: How Trimble technology improved a specific architecture, engineering, or construction workflow or process.
• Project success: How ingenuity and Trimble technology helped conquer unusual, extreme, or unexpected challenges of a specific project.
• Workforce achievement: Recognizes the people enabling innovation and the ways Trimble technology helps attract top talent, empower teams, and inspire individuals to drive meaningful change across the industry. 
• Outstanding educator: Recognizes individuals in K-12 and higher education who are preparing and inspiring the next generation of architecture, engineering, and construction leaders through technology and the advocacy of construction career opportunities.
