"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."
"Having a 3D model has been worth its weight in gold."
"As a result, we receive much clearer feedback from our clients throughout all the stages of design."
"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."
"“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."
"Archicad is more convenient to use and more adaptive to the way architects think. BIM technology is sufficiently mature. The software is light and easy to operate. These features play a key role in the whole design process."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We’re extremely happy with its functionality as it allowed our team to work simultaneously and effortlessly on different aspects of the project, with different team members allocated various responsibilities."
"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."
"For us, Archicad wins in every aspect. It helps us to deliver projects to a high standard, as we can communicate our designs clearly and deliver them more efficiently; we often exceed client’s expectations, which in turn ensures us repeat business."
“When we joined the team in 2010, we was using Microstation and SketchUp; once we learned Archicad, it streamlined the way we designed and we have never looked back we a convert.”
"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 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,"
