Applicants in five award categories highlighted benefits of a wide range of Trimble construction hardware and software solutions in design, 3D modeling, estimating, financial management and operational workflows.

Six winners were chosen (including a tie in one category), along with five runners up.

The 2025 Trimble Construction Innovation Award Winners:

Connected Construction – Klorman Construction, California
Klorman Construction is a design-build general contractor that has spent over four decades redefining the concrete construction process through connected workflows and advanced digital integration. The award application outlined how their technology now integrates Tekla Structures BIM software with the Trimble Connect collaboration platform, ProjectSight construction project management software, Trimble robotic total stations and complementary third-party platforms.

Connected Construction – JE Dunn, Missouri
JE Dunn is a contractor with offices in 26 locations across the US. With an integrated Trimble technology stack, the company created a unified digital workflow for building modeling and layout to enhance quality control and efficiency. This workflow utilises Tekla and Trimble Connect solutions as well as Trimble laser scanners, robotic total stations, FieldLink layout and scanning software and SiteVision in-field visualisation software.

Process Transformation – Central Builders, Texas
Central Builders is a general contractor specialising in large-scale remodels, expansions and ground-up construction. The company adopted an integrated Trimble solution that connected field operations, finance and executive reporting into what it described as a seamless ecosystem that turned complexity into clarity. Results included a 90% reduction in manual data entry, real-time job cost reporting, 50% faster subcontractor payments and automated payroll workflows.

Most Challenging Project – McCarthy, Missouri
McCarthy is a large, diversified construction company with offices across the US. The company implemented Trimble Connect as a common data environment to centralise and simplify data workflows for a complex wastewater treatment facility renovation project that included 30 separate structures across a 40-acre site.

Workforce Achievement – Dvorak, Baltimore, Maryland
Dvorak is a commercial and heavy electrical contractor. Following adoption of ProjectSight, project administrator Ellen Moore led efforts to utilise in-depth features to create new workflows that meet strict and varying requirements — from project start through completion. The company updated internal processes using the Trimble project management technology to transform submittal tracking, punch list management, access to visual project information in the field and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Best Tekla/BIM Project – Apex Structural Design, Alberta
Apex is a steel detailing, design and BIM service provider based in Canada. The company utilised Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect for a complex, hybrid timber-steel project that required balancing innovation with constructability. The integration allowed full parametric modeling of custom connections, highly-detailed custom modeling and a high level of accuracy. These efforts are said to have enabled real-time decision making and increased collaboration and communication between trades.
