57 Graphisoft Testimonials

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Managing the files was greatly helped by using GRAPHISOFT BIMcloud, which provided access to the file from practically anywhere in the world, at good speeds."

"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 we share the models. This preparation did not take too much time because it was the Open BIM workflow and because both companies had enough experience."

"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."

"it is very easy to extract precise amounts and quickly provide your client with an economic estimate that is very close to reality."

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

"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."

"Schools are primarily a place for learning, but they are also a frame for the early stages of life for kids. It’s where you meet your friends. It’s a place for learning, and it’s a place for playing, and it’s a place for life."

"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."

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

"Architecture shouldn’t be about eliminating the existing community, their history, and the uniqueness of the site — but rather about including them and developing them further."

"By rebuilding the school where there was nothing after the earthquake, the community has told us that their will to go on living has been strengthened. So, this is one of the most memorable projects for us."
