"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We were fortunate to have a great client with the patience necessary to get the home that was finally constructed. Thanks to the client’s efforts, along with my office, we were able to design and build a house that has removed some of the local planning prejudice around modernist homes."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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.

"We think one of the main reasons for the success of this project is the Archicad 3D model, which gave the contractor a great advantage in being able to deliver this level of precision and quality."
