"Archicad has been found to be quite flexible in order to divide information into smaller pieces and still keep most of the information in just a few model files. IFC files are created from these main model files."

"“As opposed to other companies, we do not deem that BIM is the future; we deem it is the present. BIM is part of our design workflow today. We believe that BIM will soon be compulsory, and that professionals who do not adopt it will gradually lose market share."

"We are very satisfied with the results obtained with the exchange of information with other specialized software, using the IFC file format."

"ArchiCAD helped us to communicate with a range of disciplines and enabled the realisation of our designs in such a way that they were both understood and appreciated by persons with little or no architectural and design experience and allowed us to forsee potential problems."

"Although the final documentation set consists mainly of standard 2D drawings, they are more accurate and coordinated and simply higher quality than what can ever be produced when working and thinking in 2D CAD."

"2D drawing data is not good enough as a resource of information, and neither is scanned PDF data. Again, this is why BIM is absolutely necessary."

"Our success in becoming one of Croatia’s leading practices in the cultural and heritage area especially is the result of working with Archicad for so many years."

"We configured Archicad to generate the building’s planimetry for us; we have pre-set it to make that process more automatic for structural engineering."

"When you have something as powerful as Archicad , it raises the bar for all other aspects of the business. There’s no part of our business that shouldn’t be as good as this software."

"By sharing a small-scale project, we wanted to give a practical example of how to implement BIM from the very beginning of a project. Many architects still don’t see the benefits of using BIM in the early concept design phase. For us, and for our clients, the workflow and the …

"The building is shaped like a butterfly with the large planted roof rising out of the nature park. The roof aims to grow the local flower of the region,"

"The execution speed of this project was exclusively due to Archicad, which was able to transform a sketch into data, that was immediately validated by the engineering team."

"Our strategy is to use Archicad to create a virtual building model of every project. Once we solve everything in the model, we know we’ll be able to build it accurately in the real world."

"The main attractive element is the bark. This is both part of the Park and the second roof of the complex. We designed the roof and created its geometry. The glass “bark” doesn’t contain any repeating elements and it was designed in Archicad."

This apartment shows a balance between great design and functionality. The styles and materials are appropriate and well considered. Structural challenges have been cleverly overcome, resulting in a well- designed and thought- out space.
