Archicad Workflow 

Create a new project in Archicad and set project parameters such as project location, scale, and units.

Import relevant data such as survey information or existing CAD drawings to serve as a basis for the project.

Collaborate with other project stakeholders by exchanging models and data using the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format.

Utilize Archicad's collaboration tools, such as BIMcloud, to facilitate real-time collaboration and data sharing.

Perform clash detection to identify and resolve conflicts among different building systems and disciplines.

Export data and reports for cost estimation, procurement, and project management purposes.

Utilize Archicad's construction documentation tools to create construction details, specifications, and addenda.

Collaborate with contractors and consultants using Archicad's Constructability Review feature to optimize the construction process.

Start by designing the building's basic geometry, including walls, slabs, roofs, and columns.

Utilize Archicad's intelligent BIM objects to add doors, windows, stairs, and other architectural elements.

Continuously refine the building model by adjusting dimensions, alignments, and assembly details.

Utilize Archicad's energy evaluation and analysis tools to assess the building's energy performance and make informed design decisions.

Conduct virtual building simulations to evaluate natural lighting, thermal performance, and ventilation strategies.

Hand over the final BIM model to facility managers for facility maintenance and future renovations.

Utilize Archicad's BIMx platform for mobile access to the BIM model and project documentation on-site.

Continuously update and maintain the BIM model throughout the building's lifecycle for improved facility management.

Annotate the building model with dimensions, texts, and graphic symbols using Archicad's annotation tools.

Create automated 2D documentation from the 3D model, including plans, sections, and elevations.

Apply graphical styles and attributes to enhance the visual representation of the building model.

Generate an array of 2D and 3D architectural drawings, including floor plans, sections, elevations, and construction details.

Create schedules and lists, such as door schedules or material takeoffs, automatically linked to the BIM model.

Produce high-quality renders and visualizations to communicate the design intent effectively.
