Work smarter, not harder. Design and deliver projects of any size with Archicad’s powerful suite of built-in tools and user-friendly interface that make it the most efficient and intuitive BIM software on the market. Featuring out-of-the-box design documentation, one-click publishing, photo-realistic rendering, and best-in-class analysis. Archicad lets you focus on what you do best: design great buildings. Design
Unleash your creativity with the leading building information modeling software developed by architects just like you. Algorithmic design tools and large model support let you do what you do best: design great architecture.

Analyze
Spend your time designing great buildings — not worrying about the quality of your model. By connecting Archicad with the best-in-class analysis tools on the market, you’ll identify and solve issues in the earliest stages of the design. All this adds up to a more accurate design that’s easier to build and less expensive to operate.

Collaborate
Work with teams around the corner or around the world on projects of any size or complexity. No more waiting thanks to real-time instant messaging. Clash detection and resolution are fast and easy regardless of what other software team members may be using.

Document
Complete ‘out of the box’ documentation sets, combined with a powerful publishing workflow that complies with local BIM requirements, means you can focus on your designs, not the paperwork.

Visualize
Bring your models to life with Archicad’s built-in palette of architectural visualization software. Our VR and rendering tools were designed to help anyone understand and navigate the BIM model. Understanding the model means decisions and changes can be made in the early design phases, saving time, money and aggravation on the building site.
