Revit vs. ArchiCAD

An in-depth key feature comparision

Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Technology is transforming the way that buildings and infrastructure are designed, constructed, and operated. And it’s helping to improve decision making and performance across the building and infrastructure lifecycle.

Revit & ArchiCAD

Revit BIM software helps architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) teams create high-quality buildings and infrastructure. 

Introduced in 2002 by Autodesk, it is not only of incredible help to architects, but also assists everyone in the construction industry – from engineers to project managers.

ArchiCAD is also a BIM Software which offers CAD solutions for all aspects of the Build design process including exteriors, interiors, etc.

With an extensive toolkit, a wide range of software applications are integrated in Archicad to cover most of the design needs of an architectural office.

With Revit & ArchiCAD being the two biggest names in the industry, let’s have a look at what they can offer you!
