Allplan Architecture supports architects and designers from presentation of the initial draft to the production of working drawings and detailed design layouts, as well as construction cost planning. ## ALLPLAN Reviews ### 1. 20 Years with Allplan **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carlo B. | Head of Architecture and Design Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** 1) Its flexibility: from very quick architectural design to construction modelling, from buildings to detailed joinery, from new buildings to historical ones. 2) The way information is organised: the "building structure" is one of the smartest feature to manage BIM 3) Interface with spreadsheet: we've developed a system to estimate the cost of the building, progress of work, etc, linking the model with third party pricing book (e.g. RICS). 4) Its scalability: allows to be very efficient as one-man-band or working as a team I start using Allplan after graduating and I never stopped. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** Modules like "stair" which have been pretty much unchanged in the last 20 years... Unfortunately is not well-know as other software. However, having previous experience as teacher at the University, I always managed training in-house. Few things I would like to see in the next releases: 1) Developing further modules for timber and steel construction (boosting the use of macro and smart parts) 2) Introducing a basic module to calculate U value and Glaser Diagram (that is a very straightforward improvement) would be beneficial. 3) Introducing a module to do the daylight calculation (something like Velux Daylight Visualiser..) 4) introducing a basic module for MEP as standard feature for architecture **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** I never worked with traditional CAD in my professional career. Just the idea of working in a 2D or 3D non-parametric environment is simply madness in my view. Since the very beginning (20 years ago) I've experienced at least 50% of time savings for standard architectural drawings. In the last 6 years I started developing construction models (initially in architectural firm, later in a construction company). With Construction Modelling I solve 95% of problems occurring on site in 5% of the time. More recently, with a friend and colleague, I've developed a system to synchronise the model with third party pricing books: we obtain estimate of cost in a matter of minutes. The accuracy of our cost estimate is exceptionally good. Using a specific platform (BIM plus) we are now experimenting the use of the model directly on site to check on details, materials, etc. After 20 years I can certainly say that I'm working BIM completely with all the 5 dimension (3+ Cost + Time) which is a great achievement. The biggest benefit is that, once built on screen, any project will be built on site without any surprise, missing information, uncoordinated information. I'm not a fan of the so-called "federated model" as roles and responsibility are still rigidly dictated by the traditional way of working. Nonetheless, I've exchanged information and pieces of model with colleagues structural engineers without problems improving coordination and clash detection. ### 2. Still having its positive sides but quickly being replaced by other software. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mira B. | Architect, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** I like a lot the interface ALLPLAN uses. I find it a lot easy to grasp, even if you are a beginner user. It is pretty user-friendly, without needing to do extensive research about how to do things (for basic tasks at least). **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** I like using ALLPLAN by itself. But I cannot not admit that it is being brutally replace by other BIM software. It is getting more and more difficult to find producers that develop ALLPLAN libraries and also even searching the net for a solution to some problem is becoming quite impossible given the fact that more and more people are using said other BIM software instead of ALLPLAN. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** I would recommend users who have not used ALLPLAN to have a look at it especially if they need such type of software for a specific tasks. It would take them a lot less time to do it with ALLPLAN than other similar software that has a lot more complicated interface. Still, if you are going to need to start using BIM software continually (which at least in my industry is becoming a 'must') I would recommend having a look at other, more 'popular' software and developers. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** In my company we have generally been using ALLPLAN for getting a complete 3D model and consistent information for our projects. It was a lot more useful to use than the purely 2D drawing software we used before switching to ALLPLAN. The transition cost us time but it was totally worth it. ### 3. One of the best softwares for planning buildings **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mózer T. | Techniker, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** I like the structure of the program, and the freedom to open different drawings (editable and non-editable) at the same time. The drawings can be used as reference or as primary file. The platform is able to co-working at the same time thanks to the structure. And the structure of ALLPLAN is clear, easy to use and very easy to learn. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** Not being able to work from separate computers (from physically different places) on the same project at the same time smoothly. With large files and with lot of data ALLPLAN can be slower at the editing. There are failures what don`t have any reason and can cause dataloss. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** If they need it for 3D modelling or for 2D drwaings then ALLPLAN is the right tool for them. In a smaller or also in a bigger office is the perfect software for small buildings and even for very big projects. You can manage it very easily all within ALLPLAN. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** Producing plans in a timely manner; the time required to finish a plan is reduced, thanks to Allplan. In 3D modelling are a lot of possibilities. All of the building information can be saved in the 3D elements. The planproducing is very quick, the functions are very good and easy to use. ### 4. A reliable product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arch. Alessandra C. | Interior Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** The perfect organisation of all the files related to the project. It really helps to be efficient especially with big projects. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** If you change the computer, it could be tricky to recover all the projects properly. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** It is a good alternative to other big brands products. It is easily compatible with many other 3D and 2D software. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** It gives you all you need to coordinate a project and keep it all together in a really tidy and professional way. Easy to learn, with many included tools difficult to find in other products. A very reliable software, with very low bug-risks. Arch. Alessandra Carta Project Architect @ Archicarta Studio ### 5. Resourceful, easy to use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shivani B. | Assistant Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** Allplan has all the features to create prefebricated elements. And most of all we can create detailed drawings for every single elements in buildings. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** If we edit anything 3d related in the project we are facing overlaping problem and this does not look good in presentation so we have to correct the overlaping again and again. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** We creates prefebricated walls in allplan. And with the help of allplan we are able to work easily. It also help with the detailed drawing of every single elements by creating production drawing. ### 6. Excellent, albeit complex, all round workhorse **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** BIM capabilities, easy and efficient measurement and export of quantities, efficient actual drafting tools and workflow, capabilities to organize and tackle big projects, capabilities of collaboration between all involved in the construction process **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** for actual architectural conceptual or first design not an ideal tool in comparison with, for instance, sketchup, although great for error-proofing of designs in a second step. Creation of macros, although a very powerful tool, suffers from an awkward interface. Data connection with/to some very popular local/national cost/offer management systems is lacking or poor/awkward. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** If you are looking for an all round modular package to get all work done, which any building challenge may throw at you, Allplan is a very good candidate. Especially its BIM capabilities are very good and future proof. Caution with too high of expectations regarding a sketchup-like first draft/design approach though, Allplan is not the right tool for that particular job. Be aware also of the fact, that your local/national system of construction progress may not be a 100% mirrored by the structure that Allplan provides you. You may have to get creative in some corners. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** General construction work planning and work in reformation or repair of existing buildings. The main benefit I and our studio get out of the use of Allplan is the huge time savings compared to other products and the flexibility and speed with which we can respond to changes on site or in user and customer requirements. ### 7. Allplan review for engineers **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** Since also reinforcements can be modelled in 3D it is much more easy to have an overview of the reinforcement positions in densely reinforced zones such as joints and overlapping zones. Since severall design codes are included it simplifies the process of reinforcement detailing. Another plus is that several cross sections, materials and element types are already implicitely defined in the software, whereas for more complex structural systems with non-regular cross section types it is possible to defined manually the elements. Generation of drawings is fast and easy. If the structure is properly modelled the list of quantities can easily be exported by choosing different filters. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** The pricing for someone who is at the beginning of his/her career is not so friendly. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** Engineering drawings. It is much more time efficient to generate quantities list and detail drawings in comparison with 2D CAD softwares ### 8. Great software for reinforcement detailing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** flexibility concerning the changes implementation, fast drawings generation, accurancy, **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** sometimes collapses without the reason and it's not possible to restore the project, **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** great software for reinforcement detailing of multistorey building structures. The files storage system is design in such way, that the software works efectively even on big complicated project but the experience of the user is a must to achieve this **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** reinforcement detailing is very accurant, it's difficult to make mistake in reinforcement schedules using Allplan which is great benefit ### 9. ALLPLAN Structural Engineering **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Agnė G. | Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** With Allplan Engineering, models can be created quickly and quite accurately. Reinforced concrete drawings can be generated straight from 3D model including bill of materials. Different formats of BIM files can be imported/exported. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** Detailed automatic drawings sometimes need to be supplemented manually. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** Understand what are they looking for and what ALLPLAN can give. Make a research between softwares they are going to use. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** Goal is to optimize work time while preparing reinforced construction drawings. Benefits - easy to understand reinforced structure from 3D model, saves a lot of time on automatically generated bills of materials. ### 10. Perfect software for prefabricated elements **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2019 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** What I like about all plan is that everything is very intuitive, the settings and the options are where you expect them to be. Once you know what you’re doing, every task becomes 20 times easier and faster **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** Sometimes, the properties of the reinforcements change without asking the user and you’d have to verify each element one by one before printing them out. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** If you need to do any kind of prefabricated concrete elements, AllPlan is the best software on the market. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** the fact that I can draw the plans, reinforcements and even have the option to verify my calculations is very convenient. I can draw any kind of elements (prefabricated or not), add any missing insert and even edit the existing ones. I can import a variety of files and AllPlan is capable of reading them all without any hiccups. ### 11. Handy and user friendly software with many options. Inovative in reinforcing of bridged etc. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rastislav M. | Civil Structural Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2020 **What do you like best about ALLPLAN?** I enjoyed working with 2D details made of 3D model which were connected. **What do you dislike about ALLPLAN?** Little difficult environment at the very beginning. Working with multiple sheets does not work properly sometimes which leads to complication while multiple people using same sheet. **Recommendations to others considering ALLPLAN:** Depends on the area where your business operate. Allplan is often required by customers. In thah case its quite clear and you should go for it. It works good and I have to say, that support is always trying hard to solve all the problems. **What problems is ALLPLAN solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3D reinforcing. Reinforcing of the curvy elements - bridges, road elements. ### 12.
