She redesigned the workflow. She implemented the system no one else would touch. She mentored the next generation before anyone asked her to. 👷♀️✨
Does that sound like someone you know?
Baker Baynes PTY Ltd and Autodesk has launched the Extraordinary Women in BIM 2026 Award, and nominations are officially open.
This award is different. It doesn't reward visibility or seniority. It rewards real, measurable impact, the kind of transformation that can be seen in project outcomes, organisational processes, and the careers of the people these women have mentored and inspired.
Whether she's an architect, engineer, project manager, BIM coordinator, or digital construction lead, if her work with Building Information Modelling technology has genuinely changed how things are done in South Africa's built environment, she deserves to be recognised.
What does the winner receive?
🌍 An all-expenses-paid trip to Autodesk University in the United States, one of the world's most significant events for construction technology professionals. Cutting-edge learning, global networking, and the kind of professional development that changes careers.
Who judges the submissions?
An expert panel of industry professionals, including the 2025 award recipient, who returns to help shape the next generation of recognition. Credible, community-led, and built for long-term impact.
South Africa's construction industry needs more voices like these at the table. This award helps make sure they're heard.
