GW Graham W. Owner / Architect Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/22/2021 "Archicad continues to lead the industry for architectural software" 5/5 What do you like best about Archicad? I am able to work within Archicad from start to finish on all projects. Starting at early concepts and continuing through all design and documentation phases and continuing through construction and completion phase of the project. Archicad allows me to always have a living model through phases of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? For the US market there is a limited amout of region specific library resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Archicad: Archicad is designed by architects for architects. That is a tag line I remember from many years ago. I have always felt the UI in Archicad is powerful, visual and tailored to the way architects work. It is possible to learn Archicad and jump right into the deep end quickly. The workflow and logic in the software is powerful from early concept stages, through design, documentation, construction and beyond. Although the software isn't perfect, Archicad is very mature and powerful. The support community is open available and helpful. I feel that even though I am a long-time user of the software there are undiscovered potential workflows and solutions that I don't yet know that I need, but which I know I can find and develop when needed. Over 20+ years, I have consistently seen how Archicad allows for creative solutions within the program's logic and design. Archicad is powerful and should be considered seriously by an architect who wants to stay ahead of the technology curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? I have seen huge advantage to the accurate virtual building that can be achieved through Archicad. I love that I don't need to step down to 2D documentation and that the software is powerful and refined to provide accuracy at every level of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project Architect Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/2/2019 "ArchiCAD Review From A Veteran User" 5/5 What do you like best about Archicad?

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: Organic EL Eric L. Project Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/30/2022 "12 years working with BIM in Architecture, 9 years working with ArchiCAD." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Archicad? Working in 3D in ArchiCAD is seamless and the various tools provide great 3D feedback while modeling which makes for a superior experience when designing. Schematically laying out plans is fairly painless, and quick. ArchiCAD imports and exports every file type we need, so it is easy to interact with various consultants across state lines. The Teamwork features just work without much headache, and we can host our own BIM server securely. Migrating files across versions is fairly quick, and the software has done well not to crash unexpectedly on us for many years now with Windows-based systems and file server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? No true reflected ceiling plan view solution (the 3D documents feature is not sufficient since other plan elements are inaccessible in 3D documents). In-place live hotlink module editing does not exist in ArchiCAD, and adds considerable time to development and changes across documentation. Layout drawing updates can take a long time whilst navigating the layout book, especially where multiple exterior elevations may appear on one layout. Individual surfaces on complex profiles for those tools cannot be dynamically labeled in elevations for something like material tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? It is our essential backbone tool for developing construction drawings, and 3D models for architecture. Modeling in ArchiCAD has made communicating designs to contractors and owners a breeze, which reduces our precious time during construction administration phases.

Architect In Training Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/15/2022 "ArchiCAD is relatively intuitive to use for architectural drafting and modeling." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Archicad? I most enjoy the intuitive interface for drawing/ creating drawings. It's incredibly helpful to complete multiple drawings at the same time. Interface is easier to learn than Revit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? The most challenging element to draw is the fireplace. It's nearly impossible to draw it in 3d and have it look correct in 2-dimensional drawings. (Plan, section.) It would also be beneficial to be able to open files read-only for reference while others are working on a project and refrain from saving accidental changes.
