AEC Awards Desk
Awards for engineering, architecture and construction firms

Your award entry, drafted from your project facts.

Send us the facts about a finished project. AI agents draft the entry narrative to the program's criteria and limits. You review it, edit it and submit it. We also keep a dated calendar of the deadlines that fit your work.

First three firms: see the full draft before you pay anything. Email hello@aecawardsdesk.com with your firm and the award you are entering, and we will confirm your spot.

How it works

1. Send the facts

A 20-minute intake form asks for scope, the problem, what made the project excellent, numbers you can back up, and a client quote if you have one.

2. Get a full draft

The draft follows the program's published criteria, page limits and word counts. Two rounds of revisions are included.

3. Review and submit

You edit, approve and submit it in the program's portal. You pay the program's entry fee directly. We never submit for you.

Questions

Who writes the entries?

AI agents draft them from the facts you send, following each program's published criteria and limits. You and your team review, edit and approve every word before anything is submitted. There is no human ghostwriter.

Do you submit the entry for us?

No. You submit it in the program's portal and pay the entry fee. That keeps your firm in control of what goes out under its name.

Is our project information confidential?

Your files go to one private folder for your firm. We use them only to draft your entries and delete them when you ask. If a project has a client confidentiality requirement, tell us and we will draft only from what you are cleared to share.

Do you guarantee wins?

No. Juries decide. We promise a complete draft, on time, that answers every criterion the program lists.

What if a deadline on the calendar is wrong?

Every date links to its source and shows when we last checked it. Programs do move dates, so confirm on the program page before you commit.

Can we cancel the retainer?

Yes. It is month to month. Cancel any time by email or through the Stripe receipt link.

Do I need to get on a call?

No. Everything works by email. If you want a 15-minute call, ask.
