Draw something once... It shows up on ALL drawings.
Change it on one sheet... Job done. No errors.
Think this is fantasy? No, it's ArchiCAD.

ArchiCAD's Building Information Model
coordinates your construction documents automatically.

It lets you focus more on design, and less on redundant paperwork.
It can help make your firm more profitable.

How would you like to boost your productivity 38%?* Would that help your bottom line?

With 2-D CAD (even if you make 3-D models with other software), there's a big challenge: to create and manage every line on every sheet, and coordinate all these drawings as the design develops.

Even in a well-tuned office, there's a great deal of redundant work, and plenty of room for error. And lots of room for improvement.

ArchiCAD's 3-D Virtual Building technology draws and maintains all the construction documents for a project as part of a state-of-the-art Building Information Model (BIM) system. "Draw it one place, one time" and ArchiCAD integrates it into the rest of the plans, sections, elevations and schedules automatically.

While speeding your production, ArchiCAD also reduces the risk of errors, omissions and change orders. It provides the equivalent of 3-D shop drawings, to make sure your project is buildable the way you intend.

In one dramatic example of a real-world project (Lucas Film's 900,000 sq. ft. headquarters complex, recently completed in San Francisco's Presidio), the ArchiCAD model helped eliminate several million dollars in change orders by detecting inconsistencies and potential issues in the 3-D Virtual Building before actual construction started!

The ArchiCAD Virtual Building model
is used to create and coordinate
all plans, sections and elevations.

The same model also generates
schedules, cost estimates,
renderings and animations.

Instead of separate tasks,
this is an integrated process.
