Overall Satisfaction with ARCHICAD

ARCHICAD is our key application for design work and used by all teams to produce their drawings. It was implemented over ten years ago and was purchased for the production of our CAD work.

Pros

  • Simple to learn
  • Good user interface

Cons

  • Information exchange can still be challenging.
  • Hard to break the Revit only mentality some clients have.
  • Collaboration with remote offices is good.
  • Production of information (when you do the setup of the model initially well) is easy.
The feature set in ARCHICAD and integration with various other products is growing year on year and, from conversations with their support, you can see that this is set to continue. It feels genuinely like a product the developers believe in, and they seem to spend the maintenance money we pay on productively improving the tools and our user experience.
We have rapid responses from their support team, and they often go the extra mile to pinpoint the root cause of an issue and assist the team in resolving it. They are honest when a problem is down to user error, or a glitch on the version we are on.

Do you think ARCHICAD delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Would you buy ARCHICAD again?

We use ARCHICAD for both small and large scale projects and have success in it. Constant investment in training and hardware is required to ensure that you make the most of the product, but this is true of all CAB /BIM products these days.
