The Contractor’s Choice and Tech Excellence Awards are set for their inaugural ceremony at the 2025 Construction Tech Conference, taking place July 8-9 in Chicago’s historic Willis Tower. The awards will celebrate the top tech solutions across a variety of fields, as identified through BuiltWorlds’ research, and contractors demonstrating outstanding tech adoption and application in those same fields, respectively.
“These awards are a chance for us to give credit to the innovators in our industry that are outperforming their peers and competitors,” says BuiltWorlds CEO Rosemarie Lipman, who will host the program. “Our winners come from the data, which makes their victory all the more impressive.”
The awards stem from the BuiltWorlds Benchmarking Program, a series of research reports derived from both qualitative and quantitative data collected from the field. Each report, which covers a specific area of study relevant to the AEC industry, identifies the top performing and most implemented technologies (ie, Top Solutions) as well as the contractors most effective at leveraging those technologies (ie, Digital Leaders) in a number of categories related to the overall field of study.
“While our research identifies categorical top performers—like, for example, the top reality capture software or site safety technology as part of our Field Solutions Benchmarking Report—our awards go beyond that to spotlight the true best of the best across entire genres of AEC tech,” says Audrey Lynch, the senior analyst in charge of BuiltWorlds Benchmarking Program.
The Contractor’s Choice Awards will draw from BuiltWorlds’ Top Solutions, while the Tech Excellence Awards will draw from its Digital Leaders. The awards will include winners in the fields of Preconstruction, Sustainable Jobsites, Project Software, Field Solutions, and Equipment & Robotics.
The awards ceremony will take place on July 9 immediately following the 2025 Construction Tech Conference Demo Day Competition.
