Graphisoft, the leading Building Information Modelling (BIM) software solution developer for architecture, has announced the release of Archicad 25, the latest version of its award-winning BIM software.

Powerful enhancements to design, visualisation, documentation, and collaboration capabilities are a direct response to user feedback, making Archicad 25 the most user-driven version to date.

Archicad’s powerful built-in tools and user-friendly interface make it the most efficient and intuitive BIM software on the market. Featuring algorithmic design workflows and large model support, highly automated documentation, one-click publishing, photorealistic rendering, and leveraging best-in-class analysis, Archicad lets architects focus on what they do best: design great buildings.

Architects, designers, and structural engineers will benefit from robust improvements to Archicad's open BIM and interoperability features, while enjoying even greater design freedom.

With Archicad 25, users can express their design ideas using powerful and realistic visualisation and rendering capabilities to create compelling presentations and win projects. With enhanced usability, navigation, and accurate quantity take-offs, Archicad empowers architects to focus on their designs — working in a single software from concept through to construction documents.

Key enhancements to documentation, more precise quantity and cost estimations, and new labelling options for Zones and MEP elements will boost project efficiency and enable faster decision-making.

Improvements include:

  • Greater design freedom thanks to productivity and quality improvements that enhance design flexibility, automatic documentation, and Teamwork capabilities.
  • Archicad makes it easier than ever to communicate design intent thanks to a range of innovative tools that make design presentations more expressive and engaging.
  • Error-free documentation automatically follows the design and complies with regulations and local standards.
  • Archicad supports more than 40 export and import formats, including DWG, PDF, and XLS as well as the OPEN BIM formats IFC and BCF.

"As we work with architects around the world, their comments and concerns often lead to improvements and enhancements that make Archicad better with each version and update,” said Shesh Gorur, Vice President for Product Success at Graphisoft.

“Archicad 25 is no different. Our clients will experience the continuous innovations we put into each new version.”

Also announced is the next generation of Graphisoft's Software Service program.

With Graphisoft Forward, users will maximize value and productivity while lowering the overall cost of software ownership through exclusive tools, training, support, and services. Early access to downloads and free product updates guarantees that they'll benefit from the latest innovations and capabilities.
