"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."

"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 were able to channel efficiencies from the documentation phase back into design. 3D-based design enabled us to develop architectural solutions that otherwise would not have been possible. Teamwork has allowed us to collaborate on large projects within the office, and recently, BIMcloud allowed us to collaborate between offices. 3D …

"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."

"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."

"Ninety percent of our clientele returns for more business."

"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 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."

"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."

"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 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."

"The execution speed of this project was exclusively due to Archicad, which was able to transform a sketch into data, that was immediately validated by the engineering team."

"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."

"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."
