ENICS (Encontro Nacional de Inovação na Construção a Seco) is Brazil's largest industrialized construction event, bringing together manufacturers, architects, engineers, builders, and technology developers for the construction sector. The ENICS Prize annually recognizes projects and works that best represent excellence in dry construction systems — Steel Frame, Light Steel Frame, Wood Frame, drywall, and off-site solutions.

For 8HAUS, this recognition reflects a trajectory built since 2018 with a focus on high-end residential architecture designed specifically for industrialized systems — not adapted afterward. The award validates the studio's approach: complete executive project, rigorous coordination, and millimetric attention to constructive details.
