Rethink BIM | Design to Collaboration
Aug 16 @ 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm

Struggling with BIM in design? Losing productivity rebuilding SketchUp models? You’re not alone!

Firms are rethinking their approach to BIM as technology savvy clients expect more from architecture design services.

Join us as for a BIM in 30 Minutes webinar where we’ll discuss why architects and design professionals are shifting BIM earlier in the design process. We’ll review how this impacts business profitability and why a growing number of firms are switching to Archicad, a design focused BIM platform. We’ll discuss how to use Archicad in the design phase with SketchUp style modeling, steps to create presentations with BIM similar to InDesign and methods to collaborate using immersive technologies such as BIMx.


An efficiency curve that keeps rising.

You’ll also hear from Fuse Architects, a firm that switched BIM platforms and has seen impressive productivity gains as well as elevated creativity and cohesion. Their teams work in 3D from the start of a concept or study, contributing ideas to a shared model that offers limitless exploration without having to switch to different software for visualization, presentation or documentation.

And they’re only getting started. Register to learn more at the webinar.

5 Steps to Automate Documentation
Sep 20 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

The Key is Reducing Repetitive Tasks

There’s no doubt that creating drawings for design and construction documents can be tedious. But what’s often overlooked are the many repetitive tasks that can be streamlined to reduce errors and save time.

A survey by Graphisoft reported that architects who document a project with Archicad see an average productivity boost of 38%. Learn how firms automate and improve the accuracy of plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.

Christopher Lee, Principal at Design Associates Architects, shared his experience… “my elevations are automatically generated, all my sections are automatically generated, all my schedules are being generated. Every time I drop a door or window in the plan, it lands on a schedule. All that background stuff is being managed automatically”.
