Canadian architects operate in an increasingly competitive market. While their primary objective remains the achievement of great design, they need to manage time and resources to stay profitable. It’s not an easy task, as customers become more demanding and deliverables more complex. They don’t understand how their peers can operate on lower fees. A lot of smaller firms carry a misconception that they cannot compete with larger ones that supposedly have more resources on their hands.
To architects, we ask:
Why did you chose your current software?
Architects pose a critical judgment when it comes to Design. Do they do the same for technology. How do they come about selecting their current authoring software.
- Was it an independent choice OR “If everyone else is using it, then it's good"?
- How much of the software they purchase do they actually utilize?
How many software are you currently using?
A lot of architects and interior designers tell us that they start your work with Sketchup, then repeat it in your authoring tool to continue with the development of the project.
- How much time is spent, just redrawing the project? Is such redundant work is fun to do?
- Architects that are still using a CAD software waste a lot ot time on rectifications and manual coordination. Can we quantify the impact of the change requests have on profitability?
How much money are you leaving on the table?
- Such a disrupted workflow is costly. How much time does it add on a project: 10, 15, 20, 25% ?
- Still using a CAD software? A lot of time gets wasted for rectifications and manual coordination. Can you quantify the impact of the change requests have on your profitability?
We prepared this calculator for you to evaluate such a cost.

Result
For the last 12 years our mission has been to empower the architects and designers to thrive in their practice as they strive to produce great projects.
The answer for success is quite simple and universal:
It's combining the best tool available and the knowledge on how to use it!
Archicad
The architect's thought process and his approach to Design are unique. A software tool designed specifically for architects will give you a huge advantage over a software originally designed for engineers and then adapted for architects. A good software should become an extension of your thinking. Able to help you better your design, illustrate your ideas. and better explain the project in all its details.
To give its customer the perfect control of their projects, that CADcentre chose Archicad, the second most adopted BIM software by architects worldwide as well as in Canada. Beloved by its users, Archicad’s focus on Architecture makes its offering unique.
