"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 …

"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."

"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."

"It has totally changed our way of working, from the early drawings stage until the construction phases. Before working with Archicad, updates and changes in the projects were long and not precise."

"Using the Teamwork file has always been fantastic; the late change of color code identity message within Teamwork is great."

"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."

"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."

"The results of working with Archicad as a BIM tool are surprising, since throughout the life cycle of a project we can accompany it in its different stages, witnessing that the model is identical to reality as our project begins to take shape."

"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."

"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."

"On a design level, the biggest challenge was to create the highest spec houses with regards to insulation and low energy consumption in a monument building; basically, creating new houses within a monument, but houses that conform to the highest specs within the boundaries the monument dictates."

"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.

"“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."

"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."
