CS Christopher S. Owner/ Design Principal Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/9/2024 "ArchiCAD is a revolutionary and we are all in." 5/5 What do you like best about Archicad? the ease of revisions affecting all aspects of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? It is still far too much programming involved. There needs to be artificial intelegence that thinks for us regarding what layer an element is to be placed on, line weights, documents need to be more automated in their setup and rely less on our "Company Templates" That seams to be an excuse to these not to be programmed in. Artificial Inteligence needs to perform far more functions so architects can spend more time designing. Waterproofing details, walls details, roof details, are the sameish all around the world. There need to be programming depending on country, city, etc. for standardization for all of the mundane tasks a virtual robot ie. ArchiCAD can perform. We love the program but it can do far more of the standardized tasks for us. We are still spending far too much time cleaning up drawings in elevation and section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? Speed of production drawings and modeling. It is amazing to be able to create a virtual building prior to construction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GB Greg B. Board Member Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/9/2024 "It's the only BIM prodict I would consider." 5/5 What do you like best about Archicad? I was enlisted by Charles River Software (the original creators of Revit) in the late 1990's to be a part of their Pioneer Program. At that time I saw the potential for what BIM could do and how it would effect a better workflow for the design of buildings, large and small. After selling to AutoDesk, I looked for other sources of BIM software. I came to Archicad in version 8. At the time I used it only for a visulaization tool. I have never looked back. In 2013, I began using Archicad as my only software to produce the work I was designing, Since version 8, Archicad has simply improved every year with its ease of use, shallow learming curve, easy to use educational tools, robust data compilation, and basically the availabilty to work almost the same way as when everything was drawn by hand. Most of the work I create with Archicad has very strong resembalence to what I produced by hand prior to 1985. I have been successful in getting a couple of decent sized firms to turn away from AutoCad and begin using Archicad. Those firms say they would never go back after the experience of using such an intuitive product as Archicad. In my opinion, Archicad is the best BIM product available at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? The only minor complaint I have is updating my template year after year. But, the number of improvements that come about each year make it worth while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? Cutting production time and increasing profit. Simply, Archicad improves our bottom line while allowing not to burn-out our team with long hours of refinement of the work.

It is much easier to use than Revit and much more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? There is not a large amount of useful objects that are available for US users. Many objects are in metric since this program is widely used outside of the US.

As Graphisoft has evolved the platform the tools have dramatically improved. They continue to listen to the user group for their needs and then evolove the tools to provide new features and improvments. The tools are intuitve and follow a logicial work flow. The cost is another great story; Buy a seat, rent a seat; or buy hours for a seat. with these options the anual cost per seat is amzingly afforadable for all sie firms. The ROI for a new staff from onboard learning to production is a breeze. Tool from concept design to CD's through CA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad?

I have been using Archicad since version 4.0. I was a Mac user and it was one of two apps that I reviewed that ran on Apple machines. The other one dissappeared from the market after about maybe 10 years. Fortunately I chose Archicad. It has developed in leaps and bounds since then. It's lacking nothing and I love how intuitive it is to use. It's like Sketchup on steroids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? Not having a large enough user base to get third-party companies to quickly update their add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? I can visualize design from the get-go and encounter / solve problems early on. As the project develops, I can work with other users in real time using BIMcloud on the same model and use clash detection to identify and resolve conflicts with consultants who use alternate software. I especially love to use thermal bridging analysis to optimize my envelope details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes long wait times and no background function automation for publishing and similar tasks - we work on large models and publish large numbers of drawings and hotlinks. It would be great if we could hit publish and then go on working whilst archicad creates the files in the background - needs to multitask more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
