"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."

"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."

"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 …

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

"Although the final documentation set consists mainly of standard 2D drawings, they are more accurate and coordinated and simply higher quality than what can ever be produced when working and thinking in 2D CAD."

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

"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."

"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 activating the displacement with a minimum height that can barely be seen but allows the Smooth Geometry checkbox to be enabled, we achieved a result that was beyond our expectations!"

"Our strategy is to use Archicad to create a virtual building model of every project. Once we solve everything in the model, we know we’ll be able to build it accurately in the real world."

"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."

"We are now delivering 60-70% of the requirements of COBie due to our commitment to IFC, and this is allowing us to show others how they can benefit from our dat."

"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,"

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