Integrated Design | Increased Productivity | Better Presentations
Discover why more firms are switching to Archicad. There’s never been a better time than this economic disruption to re-evaluate your design and documentation tools as well as your project workflow, and to prepare yourself for the increased competitiveness on the horizon.“Archicad has, at the end of the day, given us a tool with which to be much better architects, and we want to fully utilize that in order to achieve a high level of design”
– David Grooms, Principal, Vega Architecture
“It’s an opportunity for software simplification. We consolidated multiple seats of AutoCAD, Revit, 3dsMax and Lumion into Archicad licenses.”
– Jerrod Nichols, Project Manager, Fuse Architecture
“We used to use SketchUp a lot more in early design but find we need it less and less when using Archicad.”
– Stefan Hampden, Principal, CAST Architecture
“If you immerse a client in BIMx, they’re going to see it. They’re gonna see the scale, relationship, the size, the quality of that space in materials. So, they’ll get an excellent idea of what their project is really about.”
– Thomas C. Levi, Principal, LWDA
“It’s elevated our interview process, collaboration with clients and communication with contractors. No other program provides “real-time” coordination with our consultants as we can with BIMcloud.”
– Jeannie Bertolaccini, Principal, Ordiz-Melby Architects
