"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 …

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

"In the past 5 years we’ve perfected a workflow that lets us design tens of thousands of square meter buildings, without any considerable challenge."

"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."

"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."

"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 …

"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."

"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."

"“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."

"Good architecture must not impose."

"With this project, Archicad convinced us all over again that it’s the ideal design tool for a high-rise."

"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."

"Concept and documentation are two different worlds today. Our goal is to make Archicad a tool for gathering these different tasks into one, cohesive workflow,"

"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 …
