Norsk versjon ArchiCAD

Software information

ArchiCAD is a widely used program by architects and architect students. It is used to project the image of houses and other buildings in 3D.

Graphisoft has been in the international market for 25 years with a focus on construction. More than 50% of norwegian architects uses ArchiCAD today. In the past few years more than 1500 students of university, high school and technical school levels have used ArchiCAD in conjunction with their studies.

ArchiCAD is created with the Norwegian method of project building in mind and includes pre-programmed elements for walls, decking, roofing, windows, doors etc. with their templates based upon Norwegian standards. This ensures that any 3D model from the start, will be a BIM (Build Information Model).
