"Whether it’s a 2D drawing or a 3D model, it’s hard to perceive intuitively because it’s impossible to bring a laptop when we go to the construction site. But with an iPad and BIMx model, everyone understands at a glance."

"We were able to channel efficiencies from the documentation phase back into design. 3D-based design enabled us to develop architectural solutions that otherwise would not have been possible. Teamwork has allowed us to collaborate on large projects within the office, and recently, BIMcloud allowed us to collaborate between offices. 3D coordination enabled us to be more space sufficient at services design, but also to design things that were very hard to design and get constructed previously."

"BIM is a tool that we use to communicate with stakeholders, with the builders, with everybody connected to the project. It’s a leadership tool that enables us to deliver the project."

"The architectural part of the project was done in Archicad using Teamwork, a feature that allows each architect involved to see the entire project, track all the changes and avoid errors."

"Thanks to the OPEN BIM workflow, participants can use a variety of software and consistently operate professionally. Using the IFC BIM data exchange, professionals were elevated to a higher level. All of this prevented many mistakes, and the quality of the documentation was much greater. BIM made it possible to build the design exactly as it was envisioned and documented by the architects."

"You start with a more precise foundation and you can jump from drawing details back to overall design approaches and vice versa. Here, ARCHICAD is a unique tool compared to other BIM programs."

"If it wasn’t for Archicad, maybe we wouldn’t have completed the project in time. Most likely with 2DCAD, walkthroughs or renderings would have been too late for client approval. Also, the client would not have understood our design proposal so well from the initial design stage."

"We think one of the main reasons for the success of this project is the Archicad 3D model, which gave the contractor a great advantage in being able to deliver this level of precision and quality."

"If there is a digital platform that everyone can communicate on, whether it is the design team, the construction team, or the facility management team, everyone can work together — to create a splendid result."

"The AEC industry is pushing BIM more and more. We feel that Archicad is much more suitable to the use cases and user behavior of architects than its competitors."

"With BIM, any mistake is a critical mistake. This calls for a meticulous working process and a BIM-compatible mindset from our designers. This is the reason why we ensure that they get the proper training and the necessary mentorship leading to implementing the best practices."

"Open BIM helped us to efficiently understand each other’s workflow and to quickly set up the collaboration. As a preparation for the BSL event, HDR|Rice Daubney and Obayashi Corporation had web meetings to make sure we understand the workflow for this specific project, including what software we use and how we share the models. This preparation did not take too much time because it was the Open BIM workflow and because both companies had enough experience."

"Architecture shouldn’t be about eliminating the existing community, their history, and the uniqueness of the site — but rather about including them and developing them further."

"By rebuilding the school where there was nothing after the earthquake, the community has told us that their will to go on living has been strengthened. So, this is one of the most memorable projects for us."

"The idea of designing a project in plan, then modeling it for communicating the project seemed completely absurd especially with the additional requirement of making a specific model for thermal simulation."
