Archicad is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software platform developed by Graphisoft. It’s designed for architects, designers, engineers, and other AEC professionals. Archicad is available natively on both Windows and macOS, empowering professionals to design, model, visualize, document, and collaborate on projects of any size—from initial concept through construction. Archicad is ideal for architects, designers, engineers, and other AEC professionals who want to streamline building design, modeling, documentation, collaboration, and visualization using BIM workflows. - Archicad is widely adopted by architectural firms, solo practitioners, construction professionals, and BIM managers seeking efficient design processes and reliable project coordination.​ - Students and educators also benefit from Archicad’s free educational licensing for learning and teaching BIM principles.​ Whether working independently or as part of a team, Archicad supports projects of all sizes and stages—from initial concept development through construction, making it a preferred solution for anyone looking to excel in digital building design. Archicad provides a comprehensive suite of architectural and MEP toolsets: - Parametric building elements: Wall, Slab, Roof, Column, and Beam tools automatically adjust and maintain relationships between building components for seamless design updates.​ - Intelligent objects: Easily customizable Doors, Windows, Stairs, Railings, and Curtain Walls support advanced modeling and design flexibility.​ - Structural modeling: Native tools for modeling and analyzing load-bearing elements, plus real-time updating and automatic creation of a Structural Analytical Model for coordination with engineers.​ - MEP feature set: Design, model, and document mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems using built-in parametric objects, clash detection, and unified collaboration workflows.​ Archicad’s integrated environment enables architects and engineers to collaborate, with automatic documentation and seamless transitions from concept to construction. Archicad enables efficient team collaboration using BIMcloud: - Real-time teamwork: Multiple users can work on the same model simultaneously, with changes synchronized automatically and version management handled in the cloud.​ - Conflict reduction: Automated sync and smart notifications help minimize conflicts and version issues during design development.​ - Distributed collaboration: BIMcloud connects teams across offices and disciplines, supporting both internal and cross-company workflows.​ This setup streamlines project delivery and ensures all team members stay up-to-date throughout every project stage.

What do you like best about Archicad?

ArchiCAD is a very intuitive and powerful software platform enabling a user to accuratley design and model a wide range of buildings. Once familiar with the software a user is able to extract a vast array of data from their ArchiCAD models and even use the power of ArchiCAD to automate some of the processes of the job. ArchiCAD is easy to implement and update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to dislike about ArchiCAD, most of what one could list as a dislkie can generally be attributed to a lack of skill from the user rather than a deficiency of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you?

ArchiCAD is helping me to produce documentation faster for our multi unit residential projects through the use of a good template and premodelled hotlinks for the units. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Archicad offers a seamless blend of intuitive design, and efficient collaboration tools ."

5/5

What do you like best about Archicad?

The BIMcloud feature enables real-time collaboration on projects, whether teams are in the same office or distributed worldwide.

Archicad offers a high level of customise workflows, layouts, and designs.

Unlike some other software that struggles to balance 2D and 3D design processes, Archicad allows you to switch seamlessly between the two. Changes made in one view automatically update in others, saving time and reducing errors.

Archicad underlay open standards for interoperability, making it easier to collaborate with consultants or teams using different software. Support for IFC, DWG, and Revit formats enhance data exchange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archicad?

• The GDL scripting feature, while powerful, is particularly difficult to master for non-technical users.

• While Archicad has decent built-in rendering capabilities (CineRender), it doesn’t match the advanced rendering quality or real-time rendering features of dedicated tools like Twinmotion, Lumion, or Enscape.

• We need to rely on third-party software for high-end visualization, adding extra costs and complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaboration Challenges

- Multi-disciplinary teams often struggle to collaborate effectively, especially across different software platforms.

Solution: Archicad’s BIMcloud enables Teams work more cohesively, even across different locations, reducing miscommunication and rework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid tool with increasing focus on Revit-like development."

2.5/5

What do you like best about Archicad?

The building model is at the center of the planning. Much is constructed in 3D, which means you have to think early about a functional construction. Combined with a (local) BIMCloud and the ability to easily define your own parameters, the planning model becomes a powerful data model. And finally: the automation in output, which allows you to output many plans and files in different formats with the push of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archicad?

The switch to rental licenses is a real disappointment. Also, the fact that many bugs, some of which have existed for decades, are simply not fixed. Furthermore, many features that users urgently need and regularly request unsuccessfully are missing. And if such features are developed, it takes several product versions before they meet the requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you?

The more intensively you work with Archicad, the more you notice the internal inconsistencies within the software. The hotline is rather overwhelmed by this, as many problems arise from practical use and you need a practical perspective to understand the problems and offer solutions. Fortunately, there is an excellent community that is usually the first point of contact for questions and problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid BIM solution with flexibility and creativity"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Archicad?

Archicad is a solid solution which allows the user to create detailed and information rich models. After pioneering the "Virtual Building" in the 80:s, Archicad has developed into a competent and complete BIM solution. There are very few limitations and restriction on what is possible and over the years all kinds of buildings have been designed and documented using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archicad?

Having used Archicad for many years there are of course downsides. however, many of them are more small annoying tid-bits rather than actual limitations of the tool. In contrast to this there is an active community which is always happy to help and there is active user input into the future development of Archicad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Archicad provides me with a more-or-less complete architectural solution.

The ability to stramline and automate certain processes also allows me to spend time on the more important aspects of my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Friendly and professional solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Archicad?

I've been using Archicad since vrsion 7, probably now on a daily basis. It an excellent solution for both sole paracticiener as well in big sutios and cmpnaies. It's a very well tool of design, infkrmation management and documentation. Its excellent to follow the project along its cosntruction as well.

I used Arhcicad in urbna design, architecture, landscape, rehabilitation and intetior design.

The program is very useer fiendly, specially for architects.

The softeare is very well integrated with chaos, enscape, and help get the rendering done on the go.

I never needed direct contact with cutomer support from graphisoft, as usually I found all the Q&A at the internet forums and youtune. The program is very easy to use and to inolement inside the office by architects and engineers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Archicad?

The license fees are too high, as the delopes keep dropping an updated version yearly. Would appreciate if they get some bigger new fuetures integrated to insure more fluid working space, as well as solvgn some minor things here and there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for using Archicad since version 6.5! It's great to hear that the structured logic, versatility, and customizable interface have been valuable to your workflow.

Your feedback on object libraries is much appreciated, and the development team will consider it for future improvements.
