Archicad for EDU

  • Archicad® and the BIM revolution

    GRAPHISOFT® ignited the BIM revolution in 1984 with Archicad®, the industry first BIM software for architects. Archicad is used by thousands of companies Australia wide including sole practitioners, small to large architectural practices, interior designers, landscape architects and project home builders who operate across all sectors of the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Examples include fjmt, Cottee Parker, Fulton Trotter, Webber Australia, Fender Katsalidis, MBMO, Wilson Architects, McDonald Jones Homes, BGC Group, and Bunnings.

    As such, there is a strong demand for graduates who possess a sound knowledge of BIM, and a demonstrated working understanding of 3D CAD solutions, in particular, Archicad.
