For most firms, renovation projects account for the majority of the workload but managing the various stages can be a struggle. During this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar discover how to quickly add existing conditions for demolition drawings and how this helps expedite the new design work. You’ll also uncover situations where existing conditions do not have to be completely modeled, as well as how to get your drawings to look the way you want them to look.
Join us to examine…
- How to model existing conditions quickly and accurately
- How to use existing conditions to produce better designs in less time
- How to manage phases and renovation filters to control the display of drawings to match company standards
For Passacantando Architects renovation is a big part of what they do and Archicad makes the process a whole lot easier. “Using the renovation filter helped us see what needed to remain and what could be torn down, of course,” explained Andrew Passacantando when talking about the recent renovation of an historic home. “Showing the existing conditions and proposed changes made it easier for us to communicate with the folks involved in approving our ideas.”
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.
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”.

Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients expect architectural services to incorporate digital deliverables as part of the design process.
Join us to discover how to shift BIM earlier in design with SketchUp style modeling, using AI to help clients visualize concepts, reviewing design ideas through an interactive hyper-model and incorporating tools that manage iterations as you explore design options.
