Integrated BIM Solution for the Modern Architect

Archicad is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developed by Graphisoft to design, model, visualize, document, and collaborate on architectural projects from initial concept to construction. Available natively on Windows and macOS, Archicad lets architects and AEC teams work with familiar architectural terminology while keeping all documentation accurate and coordinated automatically. With OpenBIM support (IFC, BCF, IDS) and real-time collaboration through BIMcloud, Archicad is one of the most efficient and intuitive BIM platforms for projects of any scale.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

An efficient BIM solution for the modern architect

Automatic & Accurate Documentation

Annotate once and Archicad keeps every drawing up to date. Every design change is automatically reflected in plans, sections, and elevations, so documentation stays consistent and accurate without duplicate work.

Real-time Collaboration via BIMcloud

Multiple users can work simultaneously on the same model through BIMcloud with automatic synchronization. Teams spread across different locations stay coordinated in a single, always up-to-date source of data.

OpenBIM Interoperability

Support for the open standards IFC, BCF, and IDS enables data exchange across platforms and disciplines. Archicad collaborates seamlessly with structural and MEP software without locking you into a single vendor.

Intuitive & Familiar Interface

Archicad uses natural architectural terminology and workflows, so it is easy to learn. User-friendly tools speed up the design process from the concept stage to final documentation.

Sustainable Design

Equipped with built-in energy analysis and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to support greener design. The environmental impact of a design decision can be evaluated from the earliest stage.

Native Windows & macOS

Archicad runs natively on Windows and macOS with full file and teamwork compatibility across platforms. Teams are free to choose their operating system without data compatibility issues.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Complete BIM Tools in One Software

Parametric Building Elements

Smart Wall, Slab, Roof, Column, and Beam tools automatically adjust and maintain relationships between components. A change to one element instantly updates related elements parametrically.

Intelligent Objects

Customizable Door, Window, Stair, Railing, and Curtain Wall objects for advanced modeling flexibility. Every object carries data and appears accurately throughout the documentation.

Real-time Collaboration

Multi-user collaboration on a shared model hosted in BIMcloud with automatic synchronization. Every team member always works on the latest model version simultaneously.

AI Assistant (BETA)

A built-in intelligent design assistant that helps streamline workflows and boost creativity. Repetitive tasks are accelerated so architects can focus on the essence of design.

Documentation Automation

Annotate just once and Archicad keeps drawings up to date as the design changes. Plans, schedules, and takeoffs fill in automatically and stay accurate at all times.

Visualization Tools

A built-in photorealistic rendering engine plus integration with Enscape and Twinmotion. Visualize presentation-quality designs straight from your BIM model.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Video testimonials from real clients, not just words

Our team, already experienced with Archicad, proposed starting the Casa Infinito project, an 1,800 m² villa of high complexity, using Archicad, and as a result every component of the project could be delivered quickly.

Lumbung Architect

Bamboo is a natural material whose dimensions cannot be standardized, so the speed of shop drawing revisions is key to a project’s success. Archicad lets us revise shop drawings quickly and accurately the moment there is a size discrepancy in the field, keeping projects like Green School Bali and Green Village running efficiently.
