ArchiCAD + Subscription

As buildings become more and more complex, new specialty roles have emerged in the industry, threatening to reduce the role of the architect in the building process. One way to ensure you stay competitive is through the adoption and implementation of Virtual Building™ (BIM) technology. What if making the move to 3D is easier than you think?

Introducing Archicad 14: Open Design Collaboration.

Whether you need a fast tool to mold your creative ideas, a fully detailed 3D model, top quality documentation, or cutting-edge renderings, Graphisoft® Archicad® is the precision tool for you. With its Virtual BuildingTM (BIM) technology, Archicad supports your workflow from the abstract idea to a fully detailed and documented 3D model, all in a perfectly balanced working environment.

ArchiCAD 14 - Open Design Collaboration

Great architecture requires collaboration of all design disciplines. Architects have a central role in coordinating all aspects of their design with other disciplines during the entire design process. ArchiCAD 14 turns IFC technology into full-fledged workflow solutions enabling collaboration with engineers regardless of their discipline or the name and version of the application they prefer working with. This “open” approach to interdisciplinary collaboration greatly broadens designers’ options for real Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) resulting in faster delivered projects and significantly less coordination errors.

“Building Information Modeling (BIM) has created unprecedented potential for design collaboration between the various trades,” said Miklós Szövényi-Lux, Vice President of Product Management at GRAPHISOFT. “With ArchiCAD 14, GRAPHISOFT helps designers realize the true potential of model based collaboration by turning simple “file compatibility” between architectural and engineering software into intelligent “workflow solutions” for industry-first open design collaboration.”
