"If there is a digital platform that everyone can communicate on, whether it is the design team, the construction team, or the facility management team, everyone can work together — to create a splendid result."

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

"We use Archicad to go from sketches to complex models quickly. Moving from 2D to 3D. It also allows us to use BIM functionality to keep track of areas and costs, even in the early phase."

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

"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."

"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."

"Having a 3D model has been worth its weight in gold."

"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.

"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."

"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."

"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,"

"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 …

"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."

"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."
