"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."

"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."

"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."

"As a result, we receive much clearer feedback from our clients throughout all the stages of design."

"We decided to try writing an ARCHICAD library element in GDL. It turned out that the latter was much faster and could be applied to the ARCHICAD tools in a more convenient way."

"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."

"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."

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

"Ninety percent of our clientele returns for more business."

"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."

"There is something in this building that helps us push forward. It’s seeping through the walls, it’s in the air."

"When they showed us what sustainability was and how it could work, we just said, you’ve got it. This is perfect."

"“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 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 …
