The award honors technology solutions that have demonstrated the greatest innovations geared toward the construction market.

The winning products are selected by the magazine’s editorial team based on criteria that include the product’s overall usefulness and uniqueness to the construction industry as well as customer growth rate during the past few years for the particular product.

“The Constructech Top Products award winners represent companies that help firms implement new technology initiatives and maintain existing ones, and Bentley certainly does both,” said Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Constructech magazine. “Its ProjectWise and Navigator are tried-and-true software products that offer great advantages and are continually enhanced to meet the ever-changing needs of the marketplace. Constructech editors like how Bentley continues to update these offerings – as well as partner with technology providers – to facilitate data exchange across products in the construction industry. I am pleased that our editorial staff has recognized the great work Bentley accomplishes by providing its users with products of the highest quality.”

Huw Roberts, Bentley vice president, Core Marketing, said, “It is particularly gratifying to win these awards given that the construction industry is a priority for Bentley, and the two products honored play such an important role in establishing the collaborative workflows that are crucial during this stage of the infrastructure lifecycle. ProjectWise provides our users with a trusted and secure environment in which to manage and share information as it moves across all project phases and among multidisciplined project teams. Moreover, users have come to rely on Bentley Navigator to help them achieve greater project insight and avoid costly on-site errors through its dynamic collaborative review capabilities.

“On behalf of all my colleagues at Bentley, I want to thank the editors of Constructech for this recognition, as well as for their diligence in advocating for the advancement of innovative technology throughout the construction industry.”
