BIM Project Delivery

Utilise intelligent, data-rich BIM workflows that include parametric building objects like walls, doors, and windows. Easily manage data and collaborate on your models.

Custom Design Elements

Achieve truly bespoke designs with advanced 3D modelling, and add custom parametric elements using algorithmic-aided design tools.

Documentation and Detailing

Easily generate comprehensive construction documentation, fabrication details, and shop drawings to ensure clarity and accuracy throughout the construction process.

Sustainable Design

Optimise your designs with built-in energy and embodied carbon assessments that lead to smarter, more sustainable decision-making.

Visualisation and Presentations

Explore architectural concepts with AI and showcase your vision with stunning renderings, immersive AR/VR experiences, and customisable presentations and mood boards.

Worksheets and Reporting

Use your drawings to automatically generate pre-formatted and custom reports such as material quantity take-offs and schedules for doors, windows, room finishes, and more.


Cloud Sharing and Processing

Free up bandwidth by shifting resource-heavy processing like rendering, animations, and file exports to the cloud, and collaborate on projects from any web-enabled device.

Collaboration

Collaborate on projects in a multi-user environment, exchange models using openBIM, and share files in formats for AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino.

Interior Design

Design custom interiors with precise tools for millwork, cabinetry, and furnishings. Plus, get access to extensive manufacturer catalogues for accurate specifications.

Manufacturer Libraries

Access extensive libraries of industry-specific manufacturer content, including furniture, fixtures, and construction materials.

Mobile App

Create 3D models from your photos, generate point clouds and accurate room plans, review cloud-hosted documents, and visualise your designs with AR and VR.

Preliminary and Schematic Design

Assess and refine your design concepts with powerful site analysis tools, direct modelling, and low-detail elements like generic building objects.

Quality Assurance

Use embedded data to visualise and validate your designs and generate detailed data sheets that support project requirements like code compliance and building performance.

Space Planning and Analysis

Explore your project programs with smart planning tools. Use automated worksheets to assess your designs and make more informed decisions with dynamic data visualisation.
