Autodesk Challenge Cup 2025

The Autodesk Challenge Cup is a university-based team challenge for students in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction Management (AEC) disciplines. It is designed to discover the next generation of built environment design professionals that will help propel the industry forward into a truly innovative future. The teams competing in the Challenge Cup must leverage the unique value proposition of prefabrication and modular building by employing extraordinary design and technical innovation that cannot be matched by traditional construction methods.

Requirements to enter

Interested students from the Architectural, Engineering, Construction Management and other AEC design streams must form collaborative cross-disciplinary teams from the same University of between 4-6 students.

Teams must nominate a team captain who will be responsible for submitting the team registration and final Project submission on behalf of the entire team.

Why enter?

Gain interdisciplinary insight, industry exposure and boost your employability while working with like-minded peers. 

Following the conclusion and judging of the competition, the four winning teams will be announced at the annual prefabAUS conference – Offsite 2025.

The finalists are engaged in promotional activities and have the opportunity to meet and connect with decision-makers in AEC fields and the prefabrication and modular construction industry.
